Microsoft AI for Accessibility is funding the Object Recognition for Blind Image Training (ORBIT) project, led by City, University of London's Dr Simone Stumpf. Currently, the project is recruiting blind and low vision users in the UK to record videos of things that are important to them. The collected video data will enable the team to construct a large data set from users who are blind or have low vision which can be used for training and testing AI models that personalise object recognition - and ultimately help build better AI for everyone. Collecting this video data from users who are blind and low vision is, as Dr Stumpf notes, a "tricky process", because it, "must be simultaneously easy for blind users to record the videos and the data must be useful for machine learning." Experience from a pilot study showed users were able to take videos in different settings in their home using different filming techniques.
