Accessible GPS: Reorientation and Target Location among Users with Visual Impairments
Ponchillia, Paul E.; Rak, Eniko C.; Freeland, Amy L.; LaGrow, Steven J.
Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, v101 n7 p389-401 Jul 2007
This article presents the results of two single-subject experiments that were designed to determine consumers' ability to use a BrailleNote GPS. The participants decreased their mean orientation time from 6 minutes to 45 seconds and increased their target-location efficiency fourfold with BGPS than without BGPS. Additional results and implications for the field are presented.
