Towards a Multisensory Augmented Reality Map for Blind and Low Vision People: a Participatory ...
summary
A multisensory AR prototype combines short‑throw projection, finger tracking, audio output and tactile tokens to let blind and low‑vision students both explore and build maps; development uses the open‑source Paper Toolkit and school‑used Wiki Sticks; participatory design involves 15 students and 3 O&M instructors over 6 months, a lab study with 8 students shows all complete tasks and report high satisfaction, and a 22‑teacher workshop gives positive feedback; remaining issues are finger detection and low‑quality speech synthesis (Pico TTS).
