From Open Geographical Data to Tangible Maps: Improving the Accessibility of Maps for Visually Impaired People
Visual maps must be transcribed into (interactive) raised-line maps to be accessible for visually impaired people. However, these tactile maps suffer from several shortcomings: they are long and expensive to produce, they cannot display a large amount of information, and they are not dynamically modifiable. A number of methods have been developed to automate the production of raised-line maps, ...
متن کاملTangible Heat Maps for Navigation of Visually Impaired Users
Copyright is held by the author/owner(s). CHI’13, April 27 – May 2, 2013, Paris, France. ACM 978-1-XXXX-XXXX-X/XX/XX. Abstract Commonly used haptic interaction techniques are typically limited to touching solid glass displays or vibrations. Although there are more complex experimental haptic interfaces, their real application is often unclear. Our prototype of tangible heat map for visually imp...
متن کاملTangible Maps for Visually Impaired Users: Shape-Changing Perspectives
Interactive maps for visually impaired people are rarely dynamic and if so, very expensive. We developed a low-cost tangible tabletop interface that enables visually impaired users to dynamically construct maps. To do so, we designed a novel type of physical icons, called Tangible Reels. In this paper, we discuss how actuated Tangible Reels could be used to provide visually impaired users with ...
متن کاملInteractivity Improves Usability of Geographic Maps for Visually Impaired People
Tactile relief maps are used by visually impaired people to acquire mental representation of space, but they retain important limitations (limited amount of information, braille text, etc.). Interactive maps may overcome these limitations. However, usability of these two types of maps had never been compared. It is then unknown whether interactive maps are equivalent or even better solutions th...
متن کاملAccessible Maps for the Visually Impaired
Map systems for the visually impaired are designed for pre-journey and mobile use. Both indoor and outdoor systems are known and systems become web-based. We discuss their design issues and review some of the missing features for better acceptance of such systems, like interactive interfaces and social web features.
