“…In this regard, several projects utilized previously modelled data of the environment, thus allowing isolation of the design and optimization of the human-machine interface from the data acquisition system. For example, some projects offer virtual-reality platforms which allow users to explore scenery prior to travelling, by means of an avatar controlled by the user and a virtualized sensory substitution device [22,23].…”

“…Emotional attachment with one's avatar also increases perceived presence in the virtual environment, which can be defined as the state in which "users experience their virtual self as if it were their actual self, perhaps even leading to an awareness of themselves inside the virtual environment" (Tamborini & Skalski, 2006, p. 227). Also, it has been shown that self-avatars can stimulate presence for blind users, helping them to explore environments virtually and identify objects in virtual spaces before visiting the actual site (Cobo et al, 2017).…”

“…Finally, although visual information corresponding to auditory information significantly aids localization and creation of correct spatial mental mappings, it has to be remarked that visually impaired subjects can benefit from off-site representations in order to gain spatial knowledge of a real environment. For instance, results of recent studies showed that interactive exploration of virtual acoustic spaces [83][84][85] and audio-tactile maps [86] can provide relevant information for the construction of coherent spatial mental maps of a real environment in blind subjects and that such mental representations preserve topological and metric properties, with performances comparable or even superior to an actual navigation experience.…”
