| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Regardless of accessibility development in Japan, people with disabilities continue to experience difficulties in obtaining information about accessible/inaccessible places and routes because of the limited local disclosure of this information. These inconvenient conditions are detrimental to their quality of life because it decreases their opportunities to go outside. The purpose of this study is to propose and develop a social sharing platform that provides accessibility information to people with disabilities and volunteers. The main points of our study can be summarized as follows: 1. Implications of and applications with an accessible interface for visually impaired people that can collect and present accessibility conditions in the real world. 2. Systems that can facilitate volunteers with/without disabilities sharing real-world accessibility conditions. 3. Comparative evaluation of accessibility information shared by a field assessment and a crowdsourcing-based transcription.
