A Review of Assets'2024 from a Newbie Academic

2025

Abstract

My name is Martin Lettry, I'm a master's student in Computer Science at EPFL in Switzerland and an alumnus of the University of Lugano (USI), also in Switzerland. My academic journey has been significantly impacted by my collaboration with LighthouseTech – a startup developing smart glasses for blind and visually impaired (BVI) people. As part of my bachelor thesis, I focused on defining default settings for these glasses through user testing with BVI individuals in Milan and Bern. My decision to attend ASSETS'24 in St. John's, Newfoundland, was driven by several objectives. First and foremost, I wanted to present my research through a poster session showcasing my bachelor thesis and a device prototype. Additionally, I was curious to see first-hand some of the research being done in the accessibility community and learn about ongoing projects. Given my background in BVI research, I was particularly interested in connecting with other researchers working on similar solutions.

Bachelor of Science

A Bachelor of Science (BS, BSc, SB, or ScB; from the Latin scientiae baccalaureus) is a bachelor's degree awarded for programs that generally last three to five years. The first university to admit a student to the degree of Bachelor of Science was the University of London in 1860. In the United States, the Lawrence Scientific School first conferred the degree in 1851, followed by the University of Michigan in 1855.

Accessibility

Accessibility is the design of products, devices, services, vehicles, or environments so as to be usable by people with disabilities. The concept of accessible design and practice of accessible development ensures both "direct access" (i.e. unassisted) and "indirect access" meaning compatibility with a person's assistive technology (for example, computer screen readers). Accessibility can be viewed as the "ability to access" and benefit from some system or entity.

Bachelor's degree

A bachelor's degree (from Middle Latin baccalaureus) or baccalaureate (from Modern Latin baccalaureatus) is an undergraduate academic degree awarded by colleges and universities upon completion of a course of study lasting three to six years (depending on institution and academic discipline). The two most common bachelor's degrees are the Bachelor of Arts (BA) and the Bachelor of Science (BS or BSc).
