  2. Listening Groups • Web page due 1 week after lecture • Send to gb first for approval • Every picture needs an “ALT” tag describing it.

  3. Grading • To get a B or P you need to: • Participate (show up, questions, submit links, read papers, add to discussion) • Do the homework • Do a decent project • To get an A or H you need to: • Do all that (a lot) plus • A really good project

  4. Books?

  5. Person First • http://www.modmh.state.mo.us/sikeston/people.htm

  6. Projects • Projects will all have a written report written like a conference paper • Some may be mostly development • Some may be entirely research/writing • 1, 2, or 3 on a team. • One-page pre-proposals due 30 January • In class presentation at end

  7. ASL  Speech on a laptop? • How far are we from using a laptop to interpret ASL to speech? • There are papers on recognizing ASL by processing video. Is a camera-equipped laptop powerful enough? • What can we do with a camera-equipped laptop?

  8. One-handed keyboards • What is available? How have they been used? • How does typing  speech compare to ASL  speech? • How does “text messaging” change things?

  9. Morse Code Input • A free, easy to use Morse input system that works with any app by synthesizing keystroke events • “Modern Morse Code in Rehabilitation and Education” • Nice one-handed keyboard? • (I claim) much better than pen-based input

  10. Pop-up stomper • Free, open-source tool to automagically dismiss web pop-ups. • Make it easy for blind people to install and use. • Might optionally announce what it killed.

  11. Asynchronous UI • Most UI’s are sequential • Telephone menu • XP send error dialog, etc. • How might async alerts and responses improve a speech (or any) interface? • E.g. Word spell checker, Emacspeak footnotes

  12. Sound Awareness • Help computer users who are deaf be aware of environmental sound • Decorate the window border? • Add a “band” to the screen? • Use 2 mikes to sense direction?

  13. Two-handed map interface • Touch-tablet with state outline (say) • Haptic device to feel local area • A physical marker to leave behind?

  14. Universal Access Games • Maybe multiplayer “MUD”? • Different players have varying abilities • Maybe a computer lab of kids play together? • Learn some explicit lesson but also learn about disabilities and how every can contribute.

  15. Make Google better for JAWS • Barb hates it. Why? • How can it be better? • Folks at Google are interested in accessibility.

  16. Lynx with Speech? • Maybe the foundation of an open-source audio web browser?

  17. Screen Reader? • Commercial ones are expensive • Not much innovation • How to make it better? • E.g. learning, async interface, spatial sound, tactile feedback

  18. Instant Messaging • Make an IM client easy to use with JAWS • Or speech enabled

  19. CV meets Mobility? • What does recent work on IBR and CV teach us about collision avoidance for automatic wheel chairs?

  20. Recording-based Audio? • Analog to Image-based rendering? • How to create 3D sound environment for campus? • Expert says it is too hard • CV people said IBR was too hard too.

  21. Traffic Sounds • The “street-crossing” team will need good traffic sounds in 3D. • How to get them?

  22. Cheap Tactile Feedback? • What can we do with cheap gamer devices?

  23. Spatial Sound? • What is it good for? • Easy and cheap to do… • Nobody does it. • Adds a lot to our maps • What else? Web? UI?

  24. 3D Mental Models? • What sort of model do children who were born blind have of the 3D world? • Of how we perceive it? • What sort of tools might help them understand the world, or us, better?

  25. Free typing tutor • Make it fun • Include cool sounds • Could work for sighted too • Multiplatform would be GREAT

  26. Zoom control • Maybe with recursive number pad system? • How else?

  27. Speech Spell Checker • How to signal? • How to suggest? • Spelled right but wrong part of speech?

  28. PDFMP3 • Conveniently convert documents in PDF to speech in mp3 format

  29. Fun with PDAs • What could we do with a PDA? • UPC scanner? • Color sensor? • Currency recognizer?

  30. Sounds Like • Speech  Text won’t work (I claim) • So Speech  What?
