Virtual Environment System in Support of a Traditional Orientation and Mobility Rehabilitation Program for People Who Are Blind
BlindAid, a virtual environment system developed in part for orientation and mobility training of newly, adventitiously, and congenitally blind persons, allows interaction with different virtual structures and objects via auditory and haptic feedback. This research examined whether and how the system might help people who are blind develop orientation and mobility skills within a traditional re...
متن کاملImproving orientation and mobility skills through virtual environments for people who are blind: past research and future potential
This presented paper describes and examines 21 virtual environments developed specifically to support people who are blind in collecting spatial information before arrival at a new location and to help people who are newly blind practice orientation and mobility skills during rehabilitation. The paper highlights weaknesses and strengths of virtual environments that have been developed in the pa...
متن کاملVirtual Environments for People Who Are Visually Impaired Integrated into an Orientation and Mobility Program
Structured abstract: Introduction: The BlindAid, a virtual system developed for orientation and mobility (O&M) training of people who are blind or have low vision, allows interaction with different virtual components (structures and objects) via auditory and haptic feedback. This research examined if and how the BlindAid that was integrated within an O&M training program could be of help when t...
متن کاملUsing Virtual Environment to Improve Spatial Perception by People Who Are Blind
Mental mapping of spaces, and of the possible paths for navigating these spaces, is essential for the development of efficient orientation and mobility skills. Visual ability is a crucial component to effective mental mapping. People who are blind consequently find it difficult to generate useful mental maps of spaces and navigate competently within them. The research studies reported in this p...
متن کاملMultisensory virtual environment for supporting blind persons’ acquisition of spatial cognitive mapping, orientation, and mobility skills
Mental mapping of spaces, and of the possible paths for navigating these spaces, is essential for the development of efficient orientation and mobility skills. Most of the information required for this mental mapping is gathered through the visual channel. Blind people lack this crucial information and in consequence face great difficulties (a) in generating efficient mental maps of spaces, and...
