摘要

我们描述了两个iOS应用程序,旨在支持盲人旅行者在室内建筑环境中导航。这款寻路应用程序为盲人用户提供特定路线的指引。回溯应用程序记录步行者走向某个目的地的路线,然后在向相反方向重新追踪相同轨迹时提供指导。我们的应用程序只使用智能手机的惯性和磁传感器,因此不需要修改基础设施(例如,安装和支持BLE信标)。与使用手机摄像头的系统不同,我们应用程序的用户可以方便地将手机塞在口袋里,同时使用智能手表与应用程序进行交互。路由指示是通过语音给出的。这两款应用都在一项用户研究中进行了测试,七名盲人参与者在浏览校园建筑时使用这两款应用。参与者能够成功地使用寻路应用程序完成指定的路径(每个路径有3条路径),尽管由于步长测量不正确,应用程序必须重新启动,因为在一条路径上的前三个参与者(应用程序后来被修改以跟踪用户的步长)。回溯应用程序在大多数情况下运行良好,尽管在21次试验中,有6次应用程序丢失了参与者的位置。

All the Way There and Back: Inertial-Based, Phone-in-Pocket Indoor Wayfinding and Backtracking Apps for Blind Travelers.

We describe two iOS apps designed to support blind travelers navigating in indoor building environments. The Wayfinding app provides guidance to a blind user while following a certain route. The Backtracking app records the route taken by the walker towards a certain destination, then provides guidance while re-tracing the same trajectory in the opposite direction. Our apps only use the inertial and magnetic sensors of the smartphone, and thus require no infrastructure modification (e.g., installation and support of BLE beacons). Unlike systems that use the phone's camera, users of our apps can conveniently keep their phone tucked inside their pocket, while interacting with the apps using a smartwatch. Routing directions are given via speech. Both apps were tested in a user study with seven blind participants who used them while navigating a campus building. Participants were able to successfully use the Wayfinding app to complete the prescribed paths (3 paths each), although the app had to be restarted for the first three participants in one path due to incorrect step length measurements (the app was later modified to track the users' step length). The Backtracking app worked well in most cases, although in 6 trials (out of 21) the app lost track of the participant's location.

期刊介绍: Computer and information technologies have re-designed the way modern society operates. Their widespread use poses both opportunities and challenges for people who experience various disabilities including age-related disabilities. That is, while there are new avenues to assist individuals with disabilities and provide tools and resources to alleviate the traditional barriers encountered by these individuals, in many cases the technology itself presents barriers to use. ACM Transactions on Accessible Computing (TACCESS) is a quarterly peer-reviewed journal that publishes refereed articles addressing issues of computing that seek to address barriers to access, either creating new solutions or providing for the more inclusive design of technology to provide access for individuals with diverse abilities. The journal provides a technical forum for disseminating innovative research that covers either applications of computing and information technologies to provide assistive systems or inclusive technologies for individuals with disabilities. Some examples are web accessibility for those with visual impairments and blindness as well as web search explorations for those with limited cognitive abilities, technologies to address stroke rehabilitation or dementia care, language support systems deaf signers or those with limited language abilities, and input systems for individuals with limited ability to control traditional mouse and keyboard systems. The journal is of particular interest to SIGACCESS members and delegates to its affiliated conference (i.e., ASSETS) as well as other international accessibility conferences. It serves as a forum for discussions and information exchange between researchers, clinicians, and educators; including rehabilitation personnel who administer assistive technologies; and policy makers concerned with equitable access to information technologies.
