Abstract

We are researching navigation for the visually impaired. We propose a new interface that utilizes sound and vibration to support turn-by-turn navigation for visually impaired people. In our proposed interface, the target path is divided into straight segments and points of change direction. The navigation instruction given by the sound and vibration is carefully designed to give minimum yet sufficient clues on the visually impaired walking. We have implemented a preliminary system based on our proposal and conducted a subject experiment for visually impaired people. The results imply that our proposed approach is useful for visually impaired people.
