摘要
An interactive system to aid blind and elderly people in navigation and mobility in unknown urban environments whilst moving about as pedestrians has been developed. Its emphasis is on providing users with information as to their surroundings and the route to be taken. In this paper we report on the primary technical features of the final prototype and the experience gathered during an extensive field trial.
