Personal Mobile Controller for Blind People

We are moving towards a future where people will be surrounded by technology and multiple appliances, allowing the creation of a truly intelligent environment. However, this multitude of devices raises several issues to the HCI research area. Our preliminary studies confirmed that most devices are difficult to use by blind people, due to inappropriate interfaces. The approach described in this work tries to deal with this problem by moving the user interface from the appliances to an intermediary device, which users are familiar with and can fully control. Additionally, we propose an interface generation algorithm, which provides consistent user interfaces to all appliances in the environment
