Abstract

In the article
we introduce the issue of spatial orientation trainingfor persons with visual
impairment. We concentrate on the use of modern aids supporting spatial
orientation. First we discuss different aids and then audio-tactile maps that
are being developed under the project TAČR TL01000507.

Keywords
