A comparative study of tactile representation techniques for landmarks on a wearable device

<20>Directional and landmark information have been shown to be the two most important types of information that navigation systems should provide, and typically both types of information are represented in visual-based and audio-based pedestrian navigation systems. However, despite the widely acknowledged importance of providing landmark information, while directional information has been widely researched in tactile pedestrian navigation systems, this paper is the first – and to date only – reported use and evaluation of landmark representation in tactile displays to aid navigation.
