Non-verbal Audio and Tactile Mobile Navigation A comparative evaluation of two novel prototypes
نویسندگان
چکیده
As typical turn by turn systems fail in several aspects to provide an engaging experience to pedestrians in urban environments, we investigate the potential of alternative interaction methods for navigation. We present a two-phase experiment, involving both audio and tactile navigation and discuss the collected evaluation data. Our findings show a positive reception of implicit navigation from our users. Keywords—Implicit navigation; audio navigation; tactile navigation; urban environments.

Non-Visual Menu Navigation: the Effect of an Audio-Tactile Display
We present a preliminary study examining non-visual menu navigation in terms of task completion times and cognitive workload. We asked 12 participants to locate items on menus presented using visual, audio-only and audio-tactile displays on a touch screen mobile device and found that users were significantly slower in locating an item on a menu when using an audio-tactile menu display. This dif...

This paper reports from the first systematic investigation on how to guide people to a destination using the haptic feedback of a mobile phone and its experimental evaluation. The aim was to find a navigation aid that works hands-free, reduces the users’ distraction, and can be realised with widely available handheld devices. To explore the design space we developed and tested different prototy...
