Original Kurzfassung:
To navigate in unfamiliar places is, for obvious reasons, particularly difficult for blind people. In this research we used vibro-tactile guidance cues with the goal of allowing users to reach their destination with the most efficiency. Our hypothesis was that adding distance information should improve walking speed and accuracy, however, similar results were obtained with and without distance information.
