Use of an Acoustic Orientation System for Indoor Travel with a Spatially Disabled Blind Man.
Lancioni, G. E.; And Others
Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, v90 n1 p36-42 Jan-Feb 1996
An acoustic orientation system was developed that employed a portable remote control device keyed to trigger audio tones from modules placed at key locations throughout the user's home and work environments. Results found that the system helped a blind subject to move and work successfully in both settings, and the subject found it easy and pleasant to use. (Author/PB)
