Abstract

Project Mobility supports blind and low-vision people in exploring and wayfinding indoors. Facility operators are enabled to annotate floor plans to provide accessible content. An accessible smartphone app is developed for presenting spatial information and directions on the go, regarding the user's position. This paper describes some of the main goals and features of the system and the results of first user tests we conducted at a large airport.
