It is common sense that costs and benefits should be carefully weighed before deciding on a course of action. However, we often disapprove of people who do so, even when their actual decision benefits us. For example, we prefer people who directly agree to do us a favor over those who agree only after securing enough information to ensure that the favor will not be too costly. Why should we car...

This paper addresses the problem of the evaluation of people counting systems. The relation between the real people number and the output of the people counting system is used to motivate the computation of the maximum number of people as a scenario and geometry specific quantity which supports the evaluation of the system output. Based on the camera field-of-view we determine the maximum numbe...

Congenitally blind individuals are generally less accurate at mentally manipulating objects than sighted people. However, they often score higher on tests of short- and long-term verbal memory, and it has been suggested that an enhanced propositional representation compensates for inefficiencies in analogue visuospatial representation. Here, congenitally blind, blindfolded, and sighted particip...

In this paper we propose a passenger bus navigation system using Wireless Sensor Network (WSNs). This System comprises of three Units: Bus Station Unit, Bus Unit and Blind Unit. The Blind people on the Bus Station are provided with a Blind Unit. The blind speaks his destination on the microphone provided on the Bus Station Unit. When the desired bus stops at the station for the Blind, then via ...

Blind and non-speaking people were amongst the first to be provided with commercially available speech synthesis systems, and, to this day, represent a much higher percentage of users of this technology than their numbers would predict. Speech synthesis technology has, for example, transformed the lives of many blind people, but the success o...

The UML Unified Modeling Language is a standard notation for software development, which has been widely adopted in academy and industry worldwide. However, the inclusion of blind people in UML-related activities is still a challenge, mostly due to the extensive use of its graphical notation. There are several actions that can promote the inclusion of blind people when considering the applicati...

People who are blind can be at a disadvantage in social situations because face-to-face communication relies heavily on non-verbal cues. Lack of access to cues such as eye contact can sometimes lead to awkward situations, such as answering a question that was directed to another person.
