ABSTRACT
Haptic Sight is a new interface idea providing immediate spatial information to visually impaired people in order to assist independent walking. The interface idea stems from a thorough investigation in which we studied visually impaired people's indoor walking behavior, decision making process, their unique concept of space, and information needs. The aim of this study is to identify an interface design and investigate an appropriate means of spatial information delivery.
