AR and low vision rehabilitation

Through a collaboration with an association for people with visual impairments (FSA), an exploratory study is conducted based on conventional tasks to understand how they may be gamified using an AR headset, and whether they may be usable and accessible by people with visual impairments.

As such, 3 AR tasks have been developed in the form of an escape room. They can be solved using any of two interaction modalities: touch to press buttons, or air tap to pinch and slide sliders.

A "Creation" menu exists to load and save markers on which the tasks will be placed. Spacial mapping is currently not used.

Results and discussion from this study will be available in a couple of weeks.
