چکیده
This short report presents the progress of the PhD project which aims to improve the mobility of visually impaired Web users. The thesis of this PhD project is that “Web pages could be analysed for identifying travel objects and their roles, in consequence they could be annotated with semantic metadata so that a tool could be devised to transform Web pages in a way that the objects could play their intended roles and enhance the provided mobility support”. This report summarises:

Ontology Based Semantic Annotation for Enhancing Mobility Support for Visually Impaired Web Users
1. ABSTRACT We have previously shown that the mobility, or ease of travel, of visually impaired Web users is reduced since most Web pages are usually designed for visual interaction[7]. Therefore, in a visually impaired person’s environment objects that support travel are missing or inaccessible altogether. We aim to enhance the experience of visually impaired Web travellers by using annotation...
متن کاملA Travel Flow and Mobility Framework for Visually Impaired Travellers
The aim of this paper is to propose a framework for travel by visually impaired people in order to provide a basis on which to develop future mobility and orientation systems to support such travellers. The ‘travel task’ is reviewed, and then analysed in the context of visual impairment, leading to the development of a simple framework to describe how travel is accomplished. Once this framework...
متن کاملSentinel: towards an ambient mobility network.
PURPOSE We are concerned with aiding the mobility of visually impaired travellers around often complex and unfamiliar internal and urban environments. To do this we focus on a users interaction with ambient devices because these device types provide an easy entry point for visually impaired individuals to interact with their surroundings. By augmenting the physical environment with mobility foc...
متن کاملContextualised Travel Support for the Visually Impaired Web Users Continuation Report
Visually impaired people have difficulties accessing the Web, either because of the inappropriately designed web pages or the insufficiency of the currently available technological advances. The main focus of the currently available technology is on providing sensory translation rather than supporting mobility. As a consequence of limited mobility support, visually impaired people are less able...
متن کاملScreen Readers Cannot See: Ontology Based Semantic Annotation for Visually Impaired Web Travellers
Travelling upon the Web is difficult for visually impaired users since the Web pages are designed for visual interaction [6]. Visually impaired users usually use screen readers1 to access the Web in audio. However, unlike sighted users, screen readers cannot see the implicit structural and navigational knowledge encoded within the visual presentation of Web pages. Therefore, in a visually impai...
