Supporting map-based wayfinding with tactile cues

Abstract: Paper maps are a proven means for navigating in unfamiliar environments, however, they do not prevent people from getting lost or taking unwanted detours. A well-known issue is interpreting the map's geocentric content, which is known to become prone to errors when the map is not aligned to the environment. In this paper we report our investigation of providing a cue about the destination's location from an egocentric perspective in order to improve the interpretation of the map. We used a vibrotactile belt to… Show more

“…The following measures were taken in order to assess the navigation performance and distraction in each condition: Navigation Performance. Similar to what has been reported in previous studies [21,20,15] on evaluations of navigation systems we measured navigation performance in terms of completion time and occurrences of disorientation events. The time the participants needed to reach the destination from the starting point of each condition was considered as completion time.…”

“…Previous studies show cueing the destination's direction by an egocentric tactile cue can improve the efficiency of navigating with a map [15,22]. In these studies the participants were wearing a tactile waist belt pointing at the destination while navigating by a map.…”

“…Van Erp et al [38], for example, studied several combinations of vibrational pulses, and were able to successfully guide users to walk between waypoints. Pielot et al [27] used a haptic belt with directional vibration to help users of paper maps orient the map correctly as they walked. The belt vibrated continuously, and users were able to incorporate this background cue into their navigation behaviour.…”
