Ganz, Gandhi, Schafer, Singh, Puleo, Mullett, Wilson (2011) PERCEPT: indoor navigation for the blind and visually impaired Annu Int Conf IEEE Eng Med Biol Soc (IF: -1) 2011 856-9Abstract
In order to enhance the perception of indoor and unfamiliar environments for the blind and visually-impaired, we introduce the PERCEPT system that supports a number of unique features such as: a) Low deployment and maintenance cost; b) Scalability, i.e. we can deploy the system in very large buildings; c) An on-demand system that does not overwhelm the user, as it offers small amounts of information on demand; and d) Portability and ease-of-use, i.e., the custom handheld device carried by the user is compact and instructions are received audibly.
