[Survey] Groceries shopping behavior of visually impaired and blind customers (self.Blind)
submitted by seoho0527
Hi, we are GoWithRobo which provides the robotic shopping cart to the marts for visually impaired customers and we'd really like to find out how you feel about your shopping experiences. We realize how precious your time is. That’s why we made sure this survey will only take a quick 2 minutes.(2 Pages)
\[Survey link\]

\[How it works\]
It's a self-driving robotic shopping cart controlled by voice. It brings our users to the requested item's location by listening voice command. Once visually impaired customers arrive near the item, we help our users to choose the item by offering visual information.(Like Aira, Orcam do.)
\[Why it's better\]
1) Visually impaired customers can go shopping independently and immediately.
2) It is more time-saving than other solutions since more detailed map information has been stored to take the shortest path.
3) Our demo users commented it is easier to use our product since robotic shopping cart navigates and guides our users to the item's location so that they don't need to navigate with white cane holding basket and aid device at the same time.

Hi, /u/seoho0527 Sounds like a wonderful device! Your survey does what many surveys do: it assumes that blindness is a function of acuity.
I'm legally blind and have very little usable vision, but it's due to very little field of vision remaining, not acuity loss. But based on your first question, I have near normal vision, because the acuity of what I have left is pretty good with glasses.
Your survey will work very well for many types of vision loss but it won't work well for diseases like Retinitis Pigmentosa or any vision lost where one or both eyes has a field loss.
Just a heads up!

Haha. Thanks. I hope you liked it. Can you share us the reason why you liked through either survey or here? It would be really helpful.

Sounds pretty amazing! I'd love to join a beta if it's available.

Holy Schmoly! Where == what country == are these in? Why don't we have them here in Florida? I thought Florida was supposed to be 'hip.' These would REALLY help us out here. Please do tell, where are they being used? I would LOVE to have something like this helping me out. It sounds amazing! Is there a YT video of them, which I could see? Ok, I am really REALLY envious now of those who get to use these. I love technology. Sure hope we might see some here in north Florida. !! Thank you. :-) I also miss out on your survey since I've never even heard of these. But I'd be interested in seeing the survey results, it you'd care to share them. ;-)

Thanks for participating in the survey and response!! We just have built our working prototype and visually impaired users have done demo in Target and Whole Foods Market in NYC, US.
Definitely we'll continue this to reach out wherever demand is. In order to do this, we are communicating with store owners.
For the survey result, I can share you except for personal information. Please send me an email to $1"
Also, I'll send you the demoYT link by either this week or the next week.

Thank you so much for participating in the survey!! We are currently making this in the New York City and Korea.
Definitely, we will continue this until we can reach to London! :)
We plan to send out demo video link through email written in the survey form!

I wish the English was more professional but I understand it enough.
I also really wish that in question 6, we could mention some concerns we may have about using the system, like cost to the store (making it less likely for small stores to afford it) if this can be used for only groceries or other types of stores too, if we can use headphones or change the volume of the voice, privacy problems with the camera, how the cart will understand when isles change or items are moved allot when many employees even get confused, ETC.

Thank you for your questions! If you don't mind can you please send me an email to $1" so that I can answer more precisely!
Also, can you let me know if you are store owner or not?
When we were communicating with store owners, franchise store owners were mostly interested so far.

I'd rather the questions be answered publicly so that everyone can be informed, rather than privately over email. I think they are important and valid concerns so I wish for everyone to know how you intend to deal with them.
It's okay if the writing isn't perfect or it takes a few days to respond.
I'm not a store owner, just a potential user. (totally blind moderately independent young person living in British Columbia, Canada)
When I said smaller stores, I meant smaller franchises rather than local markets, since that would be unrealistic, but I understand the confusion.
