We have been experimenting with such maps that present information in a tactile and auditory (speech) form, but with the novel feature that the map’s orientation is tracked. This means that the map can be explored in a more ego-centric manner, as favoured by blind people. Results are encouraging, in that scores in an orientation task are better with the use of map rotation. %G English %Z TC 13 %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01599652/document %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01599652/file/346937_1_En_6_Chapter.pdf %L hal-01599652 %U https://inria.hal.science/hal-01599652 %~ IFIP-LNCS %~ IFIP %~ IFIP-TC13 %~ IFIP-INTERACT %~ IFIP-LNCS-9296
