VizWiz: Nearly Real-time Answers to Visual Questions. Bigham, J.P., Jayant, C., Ji, H., et al.More broadly our research highlights the feasibility of using crowdsourcing for subjective, opinion-based advice. Our pilot study results show that this application has the potential to address a great need within the blind community, but remaining challenges include improving photo capture and assembling a set of crowd workers with the requisite expertise. We have tested the feasibility of providing this advice through crowdsourcing using VizWiz, a mobile phone application where participants receive nearly real-time answers to visual questions. Based on these findings, we identified a need for a collaborative and real-time environment for fashion advice. We describe our findings of a diary study with people with vision impairments that revealed the many accessibility barriers fashion presents, and how an online survey revealed that clothing decisions are often made collaboratively, regardless of visual ability. Someone who is low-vision or completely blind cannot see what others are wearing or readily know what constitutes the norms and extremes of fashion, but most everyone they encounter can see (and judge) their fashion choices. However, this language is primarily visual, making it inaccessible to people with vision impairments. How we dress signals to others who we are and how we want to be perceived.
