Interactive tactile map for visually impaired older adults

Original language description

We present our design of interactive tactile map tailored for visually impaired older adults, which employs salient tactile symbols and interactive tactile symbols. Furthermore, we introduced the route guidance functionality of the map that allows the users to follow and learn particular routes. Qualitative evaluation with representatives of our target audience (mean age was 81.4 years) indicates the ability of our concept to help our audience building spatial knowledge of the indoor environment.
