Abstract

Until recently, the existing navigation services do not meet the needs in pedestrian situation. The display of present navigation information is often inappropriate. In this paper, we report two experiments to investigate whether using tactile display to present navigation information is sufficient and appropriate in pedestrian situation. The result of those experiments showed that Tactons could be a successful means of communicating navigation information in user interfaces in pedestrian situations.
