Research into user interface design has predominantly concentrated on the presentation of visual information. The integration of PDAs with cell phone- and GPS technologies offers new and exciting opportunities to explore how multi-sensory, multimodal, multimedia interfaces should be designed to suit a variety of human situations. Two projects from our universal, inclusive design program are presented that both involve vision. One uses cell phone cameras and Optical Character Reading (OCR) technology to «read» signs to visually impaired people. The user simply points the camera at a street sign, a shop sign, or a product sign in a supermarket, and takes a snapshot, which the OCR technology then translates into speech, which is sent to the user via the cell phone. In the second project we are investigating how to «read» graphical information using either speech or printed text or both. Preliminary experimental results from both projects will be presented.
