Marston, James R.; Loomis, Jack M.; Klatzky, Roberta L.; Golledge, Reginald G. – Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, 2007
A path-following experiment, using a global positioning system, was conducted with participants who were legally blind. On- and off-course confirmations were delivered by either a vibrotactile or an audio stimulus. These simple binary cues were sufficient for guidance and point to the need to offer output options for guidance systems for people…
