定位和抓取物体是人们日常生活中的一项重要任务。对于有视觉障碍的人来说，这项任务可能是每天的挣扎。智能手机中增强现实框架的支持有可能克服当前为视觉障碍人士设计的物体检测应用程序的局限性。我们介绍了AIGuide，一个独立的离线智能手机应用程序，利用增强现实技术来帮助用户定位和拾取他们周围的物体。我们进行了一项用户研究，以验证其在提供指导方面的有效性，将其与其他辅助技术形式因素进行比较，评估多模式反馈的使用情况，并提供有关整体体验的反馈。我们的研究结果表明，AIGuide是一种很有前途的技术，可以帮助视力受损的人在日常生活中定位和获取物体。
Locating and grasping objects is a critical task in people’s daily lives. For people with visual impairments, this task can be a daily struggle. The support of augmented reality frameworks in smartphones has the potential to overcome the limitations of current object detection applications designed for people with visual impairments. We present AIGuide, a self-contained offline smartphone application that leverages augmented reality technology to help users locate and pick up objects around them. We conducted a user study to validate its effectiveness at providing guidance, compare it to other assistive technology form factors, evaluate the use of multimodal feedback, and provide feedback about the overall experience. Our results show that AIGuide is a promising technology to help people with visual impairments locate and acquire objects in their daily routine.
