We explore a community of blind or visually impaired (BVI) people through video blogs
(vlogs) on YouTube. Many researchers have used vlogs as a means of identifying
communities of video bloggers (vloggers). Nevertheless, little is still known about how BVI
vloggers interact through vlogs in video-based social media. To fill the gap, we identified BVI
vloggers and types of the vlogs they produced by analyzing videos on YouTube. Also, we
found how BVI vloggers were connected with each other through vlogs. To our knowledge …

To our knowledge, this is the first attempt utilizing vlogs to understand the community of BVI people on YouTube.
