Toucha11y：让无障碍公共触摸屏变得可访问
Toucha11y: Making Inaccessible Public Touchscreens Accessible
AI总结：
Toucha11y 通过机械机器人与手机应用结合，使盲人用户独立操作公共触摸屏信息亭，经技术评估和用户研究验证其有效性。
摘要：
尽管公共触摸屏信息亭日益普及，但许多此类设备对盲人而言仍不可访问。Toucha11y 是一个工作原型，它使盲人用户能够独立且几乎不费力地使用现有的不可访问触摸屏信息亭。Toucha11y 由一个可由盲人用户安装到任意触摸屏信息亭上的机械机器人，以及其智能手机上的配套应用程序组成。该机器人一旦附着到触摸屏上，便会识别其内容，从数据库中检索相应信息，并将其呈现在用户的智能手机上。因此，盲人可以使用智能手机内置的无障碍功能来访问内容并做出选择。机械机器人将检测并激活相应的触摸屏界面。我们介绍了 Toucha11y 的系统设计以及一系列技术评估。通过一项用户研究，我们发现 Toucha11y 能够帮助盲人用户操作不可访问的触摸屏设备。
英文摘要：
Despite their growing popularity, many public kiosks with touchscreens are inaccessible to blind people. Toucha11y is a working prototype that allows blind users to use existing inaccessible touchscreen kiosks independently and with little effort. Toucha11y consists of a mechanical bot that can be instrumented to an arbitrary touchscreen kiosk by a blind user and a companion app on their smartphone. The bot, once attached to a touchscreen, will recognize its content, retrieve the corresponding information from a database, and render it on the user's smartphone. As a result, a blind person can use the smartphone's built-in accessibility features to access content and make selections. The mechanical bot will detect and activate the corresponding touchscreen interface. We present the system design of Toucha11y along with a series of technical evaluations. Through a user study, we found out that Toucha11y could help blind users operate inaccessible touchscreen devices.
