Area of Science:

Human-Computer Interaction
Computer Vision
Assistive Technology

Background:

Remote sighted assistance (RSA) is a conversational technology aiding individuals with visual impairments (VI) using remote sighted agents for real-time navigation.
Existing RSA systems face technical and navigational challenges for both agents and users.

Purpose of the Study:

To comprehensively identify and understand the technical and navigational challenges in Remote Sighted Assistance (RSA).
To explore the potential of computer vision (CV) and propose new directions for Human-CV collaboration to enhance RSA.

Main Methods:

Conducted a literature review on Remote Sighted Assistance (RSA).
Interviewed 12 users of RSA to gather insights on their experiences and challenges.
Categorized technical challenges and identified real-world navigational scenarios.

Main Results:

Identified four categories of technical challenges: user localization, environmental perception, information delivery, and network connectivity.
Detailed 15 real-world navigational scenarios (8 outdoor, 7 indoor) highlighting user difficulties.
Found that current CV technologies partially address challenges, but significant gaps remain.

Conclusions:

Significant advancements in Human-CV collaboration are required to address the full spectrum of RSA challenges.
Five emerging problems in Human-CV collaboration are proposed: blind-aware algorithms, robust localization, digital screen recognition, irregular text recognition, and trajectory prediction.
Solving these problems will advance CV research and enable the next generation of RSA.
