Abstract:
This article presents the co-design of an interactive application to assist with the visualization of 3D objects, adapted for visually impaired individuals. It offers 2D renderings of 3D objects enhanced by image processing on a standard, general-purpose computer screen. This alternative to 3D or immersive glasses, which are challenging for visually impaired users to operate, leverages the richness of information inherent in 3D objects without relying on semantic segmentation or voice transcription. The 2D interface of the application is customizable and adapts to the user’s visual needs. The evaluation of the application confirms the usefulness of the prototype for this population and its ease of use. These results validate our proof of concept and motivate us to develop a dedicated software that will consider the user's profile to provide tailored visualization assistance features.
