- KonferenzbeitragGartenfreund: Exploring the Botanical Garden with an Inclusive App(Mensch und Computer 2019 - Tagungsband, 2019) Birnstiel, Sandra; Steinmüller, Benedikt; Bissinger, Kerstin; Doll-Gerstendörfer, Simone; Huber, StephanMany museums exclude visually impaired people by offering only visual presentations of exhibition pieces. To improve the experience of the botanical garden in Würzburg for visually impaired people, we conducted a human centered design process with blind self-experiences and contextual interviews with two experts. From the qualitative insights we prototypically designed the inclusive smartphone app \textit{Gartenfreund}. \textit{Gartenfreund} consists of an NFC triggered audio guide with precise path descriptions to the next station and an interactive soundscape that produces animal sounds from the canopy level at which the phone is pointed. A preliminary evaluation shows that sighted and visually impaired participants could use the app without any usability problems and that the path descriptions need to be shorter and supported by a tactile orientation system for blind users. Our main contributions are the insights from user research and the inclusive app \textit{Gartenfreund}. In future work we will iterate the design and conduct a more extensive evaluation involving both blind and sighted users.
- KonferenzbeitragNavigationssystem für blinde Fußgänger und ÖPNV-Nutzer / Navigation system for blind pedestrians and public transport users(i-com: Vol. 13, No. 3, 2014) Scheibler, EricDieser Artikel beschreibt die prototypische Entwicklung und Evaluation eines neuen Navigationssystems, welches sich speziell an den Bedürfnissen blinder und sehbehinderter Fußgänger orientiert. Dabei wurde im Besonderen auf die genaue Beschreibung der zurückzulegenden Route und auf den Einbezug öffentlicher Verkehrsmittel eingegangen. Ziel der Entwicklung ist ein routenbasiertes Navigationssystem, welches deutschlandweit verwendet werden kann.
- WorkshopbeitragReal World VR Proxies to Support Blind People in Mobility Training(Mensch und Computer 2018 - Workshopband, 2018) Kreimeier, Julian; Götzelmann, TimoMobility training is an essential part of blind people’s education in order to move in public spaces. In order to safely learn new routes in public space, however, a seeing trainer must assist the blind person. With the increasing availability of VR hardware, it is possible to transfer real spatial environments to virtual representations. The digitized environments can be used as a basis for this training without safety problems by real world hazards. This allows to cope with the limited resources of sighted assistants and enables blind people to become more independent. We propose to capture real public spaces (such as sidewalks, train stations etc.) and make them in this way ascertainable. Orientation and mobility can be trained in this digital model via multimodal sensory feedback while involving intuitive locomotion and white cane exploration. This paper sketches the related work and proposes our novel approach. Furthermore, we suggest additional improvements on our ongoing research.
