ABSTRACT

Audio tactile map is a map that combines tactile map with auditory information. Audio tactile map can give the user direct access to the rich geographic information in a map with a supplementary auditory information. Audio tactile map can provide geographic information to visually impaired people who can’t read braille. This study shows the production case of audio tactile map. The audio tactile map produced this study overcomes the limitation of existing tactile maps’ annotation capability. It also shows that motion detection device could be adopted to audio tactile map as user interface device effectively.
