A computer aided instruction system includes a keyboard driver and an instruction renderer. The keyboard driver is configured to retrieve a keyboard input from a user before the application receives the keyboard input, and the instruction renderer is configured to execute a computer aided instruction tutorial to instruct the user to input a specific key or key combination. The keyboard driver is further configured to transmit the keyboard input to the instruction renderer to evaluate whether the one or more keystrokes matches the specific key or key combination.

A segmented alphanumeric includes a display panel, at least one linearly actuated platform, and display elements. Each display element passes through an orifice in the display panel to generate protruded and segmented alphanumeric characters in combination with other extended display elements. A microactuator array is displaceable by the linearly actuated platform and includes electromagnets and rotors. Each rotor is mounted for rotation in at least one direction between an active state and an inactive state by at least one associated electromagnet. Each display element is displaced through the orifice by actuation of the linearly actuated platform via a respective rotor when the respective rotor is rotated into its active state and to evade displacement by the rotor when the rotor is rotated into its inactive state.

A method and system for color mapping digital visual content for improved viewing by a color vision deficient observer includes receiving the digital visual content to be color mapped, clustering color values of the digital visual content into a plurality of color clusters, assigning each color cluster to a respective one of a set of target color values in which the set of target color values have increased visual distinguishability for the color vision deficient observer; and for each color cluster, mapping the color values of the color cluster to the target color value, thereby generating a color-mapped digital visual content. One or more regions of interest of the content can be identified and the color mapping may be applied onto to those regions of interest.

A user can identify the mobility dispatched to the user by changing the color of the mobility when the user utilizes a service using the mobility. Furthermore, even when the visually impaired person utilizes the mobility, a guide dog can guide the visually impaired person to the mobility through the generation of a sound that the guide dog can recognize, as well as the color, so that the visually impaired person can use the mobility conveniently.

Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media are disclosed for altering default website display parameters to conform with a neurodevelopmental disorder, epilepsy, visual impairment, and/or cognitive disability profile. In one implementation, a non-transitory computer readable medium contains instructions that cause a processor to alternate default website display parameters to conform with a disability profile by: obtaining an indication that a user of a website has a disability; and based on the obtained indication, implementing a predefined template to alter multiple website default display parameters to conform with needs of the user with the disability; wherein implementing the predefined template is configured to impact presentation of content on a computing device of the user with the disability without impacting presentation of content on other computing devices display to other simultaneous viewers of the website.

Techniques described herein are directed to, among other things, utilizing a self-centering user interface to receive information associated with a transaction. For instance, a computing device may receive a first input at a first location of a display. The computing device may then determine a positioning for the user interface, where the user interface may be substantially centered about the first location. In some instances, the computing device may display the user interface using the positioning. The computing device may then receive a second input corresponding to swipe from the first location of the display to a second location of the display. The computing device may then determine a symbol included in the user interface based at least in part on the second input. In some instances, the user interface includes a keypad for entering a personal identification number associated with a payment instrument.

The present invention relates to a method for providing visual perception training using visual perception learning, the method comprising the steps of: obtaining a field-of-view map having a plurality of unit regions to which a vision index reflecting a user's vision ability is assigned; providing a first session using a visual perception task which is performed by displaying a first visual object for central fixation of the user's field of view and a second visual object in the vicinity of the first visual object, and requests the user's response related to at least the second visual object; determining a vision ability changed region among the plurality of unit regions on the basis of the user's response from the first session; and providing a second session using the visual perception task.

Mechanisms for providing environment information to a visually impaired person (VIP) are provided, the mechanisms including: receiving information relating to a direction from a VIP when in an environment using at least one hardware processor; identifying at least one object in the direction from the VIP when in the environment; and providing environment information regarding at least one object to the VIP. In some of these embodiments, the environment is a virtual environment. In some of these embodiments, the information relating to the direction is a bearing relative to a reference from the VIP. In some of these embodiments, the information is image data. In some of these embodiments, the method further comprises: determining that the direction has changed; and stopping providing the environment information in response to determining that the direction has changed.

Keyboards that are selectably configurable between a standard interface and a braille interface. In embodiments, the keyboard is equipped with six keys corresponding to six dots of a braille matrix, each of the keys equipped with a shape memory alloy spring or other mechanism to cause each of the keys to selectably extend above the keyboard plane. On activation, the six keys are extended and the remaining keys deactivated, to provide an easy to locate braille interface. On subsequent activation, the six keys are retracted and the keyboard is reverted to a standard interface. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
