title = "TactileFace: A system for enabling access to face photos by visually-impaired people",
abstract = "Face photos/Portraits play an important role in people's social and emotional life. Unfortunately, this type of media is inaccessible to people with visual impairment. We propose a novel, prototypical system that was designed to demonstrate the feasibility of bridging this accessibility gap through automatic and realtime conversion of face images into their tactile counterparts. Unlike conventional and existing tactile conversion efforts, which are largely done by human specialists, the proposed system serves to provide an intelligent interface between blind computer users and this important type of media, human face images.",
