Mobility and Orientation: Experimenting with Inclusive Localization Systems
summary
CNR and Sapienza University report on an experimental program to develop inclusive localization and positioning solutions for people with visual impairments, focusing on the usability limits of digital maps—especially on small touch screens—and how that affects building mental navigation maps. The talk covers requirements for robust, reliable, low-cost interfaces and services that align safety, usability and user acceptance, and proposes design criteria and potential innovative services to bridge gaps between technical capabilities and practical use.
