A Quantitative Evaluation Approach for Cognitive Maps of Blind People
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the field of Human-Computer Interaction, several projects aim to develop new technological aids, which enable and provide people who are blind the ability to navigate themselves around on their own. In order to evaluate these technological aids, the created cognitive maps which are built by the help of technological aids should be evaluated at first. A new approach has been developed for evaluating these reconstructed cognitive maps quantitatively. In this paper, we describe how this approach has been developed. Nine criteria are identified and weighted with help from the blind people. Using weighted Euclidean distance enables the cognitive maps to be compared with each other.

Usually, in real-world engineering problems, there are different types of uncertainties about the studied variables, which can be due to the specific variables under investigation or interaction between them. Fuzzy cognitive maps, which addresses the cause-effect relation between variables, is one of the most common models for better understanding of the problems, especially when the quantitati...

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 کاملConstruction of cognitive maps of unknown spaces using a multi-sensory virtual environment for people who are blind
Most of the information used by people for the cognitive mapping of spaces is gathered through the visual channel. People who are blind lack the ability to collect the required visual information either in advance or in situ. This study was based on the assumption that the acquisition of appropriate spatial information (perceptual and conceptual) through compensatory sensorial channels (e.g., h...
