| Description | Is it possible to show space relations to blind people? Techniques and experiments described in this article explore several ways blind people can acess spatial information using a one point force-feedback device. The study focuses on techniques supporting their orientation in buildings. Preliminary results show that wider spectrum of different techniques suitable for blind people is needed. |
