Constructing the Yellow Brick Road: Route Bricks on Virtual Tactile Maps
نویسنده
چکیده
Tactile maps are the standard media to convey geographical information to blind people. An approach for an interactive substitute for tactile maps is presented, called virtual tactile maps. It is based on an image processing system tracking fingers and game piece-like objects. Output is done through speech and sound. Users learn routes by constructing them with route bricks.
