PERCEPT Indoor Navigation System for Visually Impaired: Beta Study
| 项目名称： | PERCEPT Indoor Navigation System for Visually Impaired: Beta Study |
| 摘要： | Independent navigation through unfamiliar indoor spaces is beset with barriers for Blind and Visually Impaired (BVI) individuals. A task that is trivial and spontaneous for people without disabilities, has to be planned and coordinated with other individuals for the BVI population. Currently there are no commercial systems that enable BVI users to independently navigate in indoor environments. The PERCEPT system (PERCEPT), is an affordable and accurate indoor navigation system for BVI users, that was developed by Professor Ganz and her team at the University of Massachusetts 5G Mobile Evolution Lab. Using real time localization and detailed navigation instructions that are automatically generated, PERCEPT enables BVI users to independently navigate through large indoor venues as demonstrated in trials in North Station. This project objective is to assist MBTA evaluate PERCEPT suitability for MBTA system-wide deployment. To accomplish this objective the research team will conduct a beta study with at least 20 BVI participants who will download and use PERCEPT on their Smartphones to independently access and navigate the MBTA�s subway system at North Station. This information will be used to determine MBTA system-wide deployment of PERCEPT. |
