Abstract

This paper presents the user interface experiences we had while developing an assistive system for the blind and visually impaired based on ubiquitous computing technology, the Chatty Environment. After introducing the system, it describes several issues encountered during user interface design and the chosen solutions. It then shortly presents the results of a conducted user survey.
