“…We also found that people with visual impairments prefer using online content made by content creators who also have visual impairments. Our research further extends existing research of enabling visually impaired people in content creation, such as photo sharing on social media [9,100], video editing on YouTube [84,86,87], and music composing [78]. For example, leveraging personal-aesthetic recognition and contextual saliency detection [100] for makeup-related content would reduce the effort of content creators with visual impairments in editing their photos or videos.…”

Makeup and cosmetics offer the potential for self-expression and the reshaping of social roles for visually impaired people. However, there exist barriers to conducting a beauty regime because of the reliance on visual information and color variances in makeup. We present a content analysis of 145 YouTube videos to demonstrate visually impaired individuals' unique practices before, during, and after doing makeup. Based on the makeup practices, we then conducted semi-structured interviews with 12 visually impaired people to discuss their perceptions of and challenges with the makeup process in more depth. Overall, through our findings and discussion, we present novel perceptions of makeup from visually impaired individuals (e.g., broader representations of blindness and beauty).The existing challenges provide opportunities for future research to address learning barriers, insufficient feedback, and physical and environmental barriers, making the experience of doing makeup more accessible to people with visual impairments. CCS Concepts: • Human-centered computing → Empirical studies in accessibility.

“…Several solutions such as assistive technologies and software are being developed to address such problems. Assistive systems aid BVI people with daily activities such as distinguishing banknotes [2], crossing a road [3,4], video media accessibility [5,6], image sonification for navigation [7], recognizing people [8], recognizing private visual information [9], selecting clothing [10], and navigating both outdoors and indoors [11,12].…”

The growing aging population suffers from high levels of vision and cognitive impairment, often resulting in a loss of independence. Such individuals must perform crucial everyday tasks such as cooking and heating with systems and devices designed for visually unimpaired individuals, which do not take into account the needs of persons with visual and cognitive impairment. Thus, the visually impaired persons using them run risks related to smoke and fire. In this paper, we propose a vision-based fire detection and notification system using smart glasses and deep learning models for blind and visually impaired (BVI) people. The system enables early detection of fires in indoor environments. To perform real-time fire detection and notification, the proposed system uses image brightness and a new convolutional neural network employing an improved YOLOv4 model with a convolutional block attention module. The h-swish activation function is used to reduce the running time and increase the robustness of YOLOv4. We adapt our previously developed smart glasses system to capture images and inform BVI people about fires and other surrounding objects through auditory messages. We create a large fire image dataset with indoor fire scenes to accurately detect fires. Furthermore, we develop an object mapping approach to provide BVI people with complete information about surrounding objects and to differentiate between hazardous and nonhazardous fires. The proposed system shows an improvement over other well-known approaches in all fire detection metrics such as precision, recall, and average precision.

“…High prevalence of contents in YouTube within the genre of movie produced by junior creator is a positive phenomenon of creativity and innovation that has to be appreciated (Pires et al, 2021;Seo & Jung, 2021). The concrete form of appreciation is by subscribing, viewing, and commenting or sharing the channel.…”

YouTube has been flooded with contents within a movie genre, mostly the products by junior creators. It is therefore important to appreciate their works to maintain their creativities and innovations. Positive responses to such literary works are also required to improve their quality writing. The current study was aimed at identifying and at the same time construing the implicatures found in each act of the movie entitled “Terlanjur Mencinta” directed by Alfatah Nando. George Yule’s pragmatic theory (1996) was used in relation to implicatures caused by conversational maxims (Grice, 1975) supported by linguistic evidence-based contextual interpretation, namely utterances and stage directions. Findings show that generalized conversational implicatures were identified, namely 12 implicatures in which 42% was due to violation of manner maxim, 33% attributed to that of relation maxim, 17% due to that of quantity maxim, and 8% due to that of quality maxim. In addition, 4 conventional implicatures were found in the monologue. The study concludes that the implicatures can be easily understood through the contexts of situations. It is recommended that future researchers can formulate the ideal proportion and distribution of implicatures in a particular text in terms of quality, employing comparative rhetoric and a special research instrument.
