寻找丢失的物品是视障人士的常见问题，计算机技术可以帮助缓解这一问题。在本文中，我们提出了一种称为FETCH的移动解决方案的设计和评估，该解决方案允许视障人士跟踪和定位他们经常丢失的对象，但他们没有特定的跟踪策略。Fetch使用用户已经拥有的设备，如他们的手机或笔记本电脑，来定位他们房子周围的物体。来自视障用户的焦点小组的结果为该系统的设计提供了信息。然后，我们在实验室研究中研究了笔记本电脑解决方案的可用性，并通过一个月的部署和日记研究研究了该系统的可用性和有用性。这些研究表明，FETCH是可用的和有用的，但仍有改进的空间。
Finding lost items is a common problem for the visually impaired and is something that computing technology can help alleviate. In this paper, we present the design and evaluation of a mobile solution, called FETCH, for allowing the visually impaired to track and locate objects they lose frequently but for which they do not have a specific strategy for tracking. FETCH uses devices the user already owns, such as their cell phone or laptop, to locate objects around their house. Results from a focus group with visually impaired users informed the design of the system. We then studied the usability of a laptop solution in a laboratory study and studied the usability and usefulness of the system through a one-month deployment and diary study. These studies demonstrate that FETCH is usable and useful, but there is still room for improvement.
