Abstract

Many new home appliances being introduced to the market cannot be fully used by people with visual impairment due to lack of non-visual feedback. We have developed two new types of Remote Control(RC)'s for people with visual impairment, one with voice recognition and the other with numeric keys. We conducted two types of evaluations for them. We found that while the key RC took more time to use than the voice RC, the participants were more satisfied with the key RC
