Spatial navigation in the absence of vision has been investigated from a variety of
perspectives and disciplines. These different approaches have progressed our …

Purpose: The aim of this review is to analyze haptic sensory substitution technologies for
deaf, blind and deaf–blind individuals. Method: The literature search has been performed in …

Pedestrian navigation systems require users to perceive, interpret, and react to navigation
information. This can tax cognition as navigation information competes with information from …

Visually impaired individuals often rely on assistive technologies such as white canes for
independent navigation. Many electronic enhancements to the traditional white cane have …

In this paper, we present an evaluation of vibrotactile onbody feedback for the purpose of
pedestrian navigation. For this specific task, many researchers already provide different …

Feedback is one of the significant factors for the mental mapping of an environment. It is the
communication of spatial information to blind people to perceive the surroundings. The …

Precisely guiding a blind person's hand can be useful for a range of applications from
tracing printed text to learning and understanding shapes and gestures. In this paper, we …

Blind people typically resort to audio feedback to access information on electronic devices.
However, this modality is not always an appropriate form of output. Novel approaches that …

Accurate and effective directional feedback is crucial for an electronic traveling aid device
that guides visually impaired people in walking through paths. This paper presents Tactile …

Cycling navigation is a complex and stressful task as the cyclist needs to focus
simultaneously on the navigation, the road, and other road users. We propose directional …
