An RFID-Based Point-and-Listen Interface Providing Library Access for the Visually Impaired

Abstract. We present the AudioIndex prototype, a light-weight mobile RFIDbased point-and-listen interface that allows visually impaired to browse and search for audio books within a public library without the need for library staff guidance. AudioIndex has been specifically designed to fit well into the library environment and its routines, a fit made possible by carefully considering interaction styles and by solving a number of technical design challenges, including distribution of data, hardware platform, and RFID specifications.
