The Support of Spatial Orientation of Persons with Visual Impairment by means of Modern Aids

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

• Spatial Orientation,Mobility,Persons with Visual Impairment,Modern Aids,Audio-Tactile Aids
