Camera Canvas: Photo editing and sharing app for people with disabilities

Document Type

Conference Paper

Abstract

We are motivated to make the interaction between a computer and people with disabilities better with more flexible interactions in their activities. Camera Canvas, the existing photo drawing and editing desktop software for motor-impaired individuals to operate a computer mouse, has been integrated well in the mouse-replacement interface, Camera Mouse. Therefore, our approach is to optimize Camera Canvas for the sake of helping gain a better experience in tailoring local photos/images. With more image filtering designed in computer vision techniques, Camera Canvas enhances better user experience. We conducted user studies with a few users without disabilities, who didn’t operate or operated Camera Canvas with Camera Mouse. We have initiated features of social media sharing in the software, and evaluation of social media integration is planned for future work. Our ongoing work includes conducting additional user studies and optimizing the software based on feedback or survey.
