NavSight in the Wild: Understanding Real-World Use of a Mobile Augmented Reality Application for People with Low Vision in Outdoor Navigation
The ability to navigate outdoors safely and independently is crucial yet challenging for people with low vision (PLV). While various augmented reality (AR) systems for low vision have been designed and evaluated in ideal lab environments, no research has investigated their real-world feasibility and challenges. We present NavSight, a mobile AR application that assists PLV in outdoor navigation by recognizing important outdoor objects (e.g., curb, vehicle) and rendering real-time visual augmenta…
