The development of navigation tools for people who are visually impaired had become an
important concern in the research area of assistive technologies. This paper gives a …

To overcome the travelling difficulty for the visually impaired group, this paper presents a
novel ETA (Electronic Travel Aids)-smart guiding device in the shape of a pair of eyeglasses …

Whereas outdoor navigation systems typically rely upon global positioning system (GPS),
indoor systems have to rely upon different techniques for localizing the user, as GPS signals …

Blind and Visually Impaired (BVI) people find challenges in navigating unfamiliar
environments, even using assistive tools such as white canes or smart devices. Increasingly …

This paper presents a study of the main contributions, in terms of the development of
electronics and RFID technologies, to assist people with visual disabilities in their …

Pedestrian navigation systems require users to perceive, interpret, and react to navigation
information. This can tax cognition as navigation information competes with information from …

A large percentage of computing capacity in today's large high-performance computing
systems is wasted because of failures. Consequently current research is focusing on …

Although a large number of navigation support systems for visually impaired people have
been proposed in the past, navigating through unknown environments is still a major …

In this paper, we present an evaluation of vibrotactile onbody feedback for the purpose of
pedestrian navigation. For this specific task, many researchers already provide different …

In this paper we report on a field study comparing a commercial pedestrian navigation
system to a tactile navigation system called Tactile Wayfinder. Similar to previous …
