碩士 / 國立政治大學 / 資訊科學學系 / 105 / Today, we can freely travel to unfamiliar places and enjoy the convenience of navigation features on mobile devices. However most of the current apps are presented via visually-oriented interfaces, depriving visually impaired smartphone users of the benefit of this technology. Statistics shows that the visually impaired need to go out as frequently as those having sight, yet this tremendous demand for independence and mobility remains unsolved. Therefore, we present a new system called BlindNavi that integrates knowledge obtained from O&M training and the micro-location information of iBeacon to provide a point-to-point outdoor navigation system for the visually impaired. In order to free hands from holding smart phones while about town, we designed a GuidePin that can be wore on the front of the user’s attire to control their smartphone and provide the user’s current heading. Herein, we describe our iterative design process including lessons learned through qualitative research methods including contextual inquiry, shadowing, interviews with experts, and a discussion of our findings from the deployment of the app on test routes. Finally, the visually impaired are able to move about in the public domain independently with greater ease and confidence.
