Mispelblom Beijer, Juerd (author)This project develops a novel assistive technology for aiding in mobility of the Visually Impaired in collaboration with Royal Visio. This technology provides VIPs with a dynamic tactile map of their environment to improve spatial awareness. The aim is to improve overview, wayfinding and orientation, while also improving the overall mobility...master thesis 2024

Ko, Sylvia (author)Each year, 5.9 million tonnes of tea is consumed worldwide. However, this large consumption of tea also leads to large amounts of tea waste. Approximately 90% of steeped tea is being thrown away. This waste leads to problems such as environmental pollution. In order to combat this issue, Tea Clay was previously developed as a material made from...master thesis 2023

Kisjes, Hannah (author)This graduation project arose from Erasmus MC’s mission to continuously improve the patient experience. The results of the patient monitoring by Erasmus MC showed that an intervention at their ophthalmology outpatient clinic (OOC) could contribute to this objective. The patient satisfaction scores on wait time experience were very low at this...master thesis 2023

Ghodrat, S. (author), Sandhir, P. (author), Huisman, G. (author)Wearable haptic assistive devices can provide tactile information to visually impaired people (VIP) to support independent living. However, electromechanical haptic feedback has a number of disadvantages, including hardware being relatively heavy, large, and producing excessive sound. Here, we present a design-driven investigation of the...journal article 2023

Berka, Jakub (author), Balata, Jan (author), Jonker, C.M. (author), Mikovec, Zdenek (author), van Riemsdijk, M. Birna (author), Tielman, M.L. (author)Disabled people can benefit greatly from assistive digital technologies. However, this increased human-machine symbiosis makes it important that systems are personalized and transparent to users. Existing work often uses data-oriented approaches. However, these approaches lack transparency and make it hard to influence the system’s behavior. In...journal article 2022

Sandhir, Preeti (author)There are approximately 285 million people worldwide living with a visual impairment and the rate of acquired blindness is expected to continue increasing. Assistive technology for them is progressively being developed in order to enable independent living. For the blind and visually impaired, the tactile sense is the primary source of...master thesis 2021

Chu, Yuxin (author)Visually impaired people should enjoy the same rights to acquire information as people with normal sight. Since visual contents become more and more pervasive in our daily life, image description becomes increasingly important to help visually impaired people to get equal access to the information contained in visual contents. However, how to...master thesis 2021

Djenaihi, Walid‐Mahfoud (author), Zemmouri, Noureddine (author), Djenane, Moussadek (author), van Nes, A. (author)This contribution investigates the correlation between street noise levels and the spatial configuration of the street network in four different types of neighbourhoods in the Algerian city of Biskra. Space syntax methods are used to analyse spatial relationships, where accessibility, intelligibility, and legibility of urban spaces can be...journal article 2021

de Vries, Josephine (author)All museum visitors should be able to go to any museum they like and observe the artworks they prefer. For visually impaired people this is often not the case, even though museums have a social responsibility to make their collections accessible for everyone. Especially since the United Nations agreed on the rights of persons with disabilities...master thesis 2020

Szabó, Veronika (author)The design of the white cane, the most used mobility aid for visually impaired, has not changed significantly since the mid-20th century. New concepts and technological solutions have failed to catch on. However, the cane seems unappealing and outdated to some potential users. Margot Scheltema, the initiator of this graduation project, is a...master thesis 2019
