Tactile Navigation system For People with visual impairments In museum

Abstract

Although the museum provides some interaction objects to increase their accessibility for the public, there still exits some constraints for the disabled.The paper argues developments in technology have the potential to increase access and enable opportunities for people with visual impairment. Nowadays, museums offer the audio assistive system and tactile assistive system. Tactile navigation, which consists of a visual sensor and audio feedback, enables blind people to quickly access information. They are designed to address accurately detect objects and receive different types of information simultaneously. The tactile navigation with Bluetooth can be a small one which is convenient for people to carry on and more accurately to guide the blind people.This paper draws some examples of the tactile navigation and the improvement of the tactile navigation. It encompasses artifact analysis, body storming and case studies on how the feeling of the blind people, the behavior of them and how the effect of tactile navigation on them. Conclusions and implications for policy-makers and museum managers, designed to promote the creation of interactive technology and solve the constraints for the blind people.
