Software Development to Assist in the Interpretation of Tactile Maps

Abstract: Accessible geographic maps are useful for gaining insight into the environment. Traditionally, tactile maps are always used in cartographic literacy. These maps have proved to be efficient for the acquisition of spatial knowledge by people with visual impairment, but they have significant limitations. For example, due to the specifics of the tactile sense, only a limited amount of information can be represented on the map. It should be noted, however, that only a small percentage of the visually impaired popul… Show more

“…A widely cited paper by Miele et al (2006) introduces one of the first mapping platforms that used text-to-speech (TTS) in place of braille labeling, an approach adopted by many following studies. Additionally, mapping platforms that also respond to audio input are becoming more feasible with improved speech recognition technology (Abd Hamid and Edwards, 2013;Barbosa and Sá, 2020;Cavazos Quero et al, 2019;Reinders et al, 2020). Mobile computing is also frequently enrolled in multimodal technologies, such as in Yatani et al (2012), Matsuo et al (2020), and Giudice et al (2020) who incorporate tactual, auditory, and vibration feedback in mobile wayfinding applications, or Senette et al (2013) who lay a microcapsule tactile map over a mobile device with an app installed that can recognize it.…”
