Exploiting SenseCam for Helping the Blind in Business Negotiations.

During business meetings, blind persons are not able to see the meaningful movements, and facial gestures of the participants. The formal meeting minutes and / or participants' conversation during the meeting normally lack this important feedback in order to determine who is in favor and who is against their proposed suggestions. This is crucial in business negotiations, where one has to convince people and do lobbying for winning the business case in upcoming meetings. Today the devices already exist for instantly and seamlessly capturing the snapshots everywhere. The proposition suggests data capture using a similar device called SenseCamhttp://research.microsoft.com/sendev/project_sensecam.aspx (5th Mar'06)., and then making these snapshots accessible for the benefit of the visually impaired users.
