在本文中，我们将介绍Semantic Interior Mapology（SIM），这是一个Web应用程序，允许任何人快速跟踪建筑物的平面图，生成一个矢量化的表示，可以自动转换为所需比例的触觉地图。SIM的设计是由一个焦点小组与七个盲人参与者。SIM生成的地图在两个不同的比例尺进行了测试的用户研究与10名参与者，谁被要求执行一些任务，旨在确定通过地图探索获得的空间知识。这些任务包括跨地图指向和路径寻找，并确定转向方向/步行者的方向在想象的路径遍历。总的来说，参与者能够成功地完成任务，这表明这些类型的地图可能有助于旅行前的空间学习。
In this article, we introduce Semantic Interior Mapology (SIM), a web app that allows anyone to quickly trace the floor plan of a building, generating a vectorized representation that can be automatically converted into a tactile map at the desired scale. The design of SIM is informed by a focus group with seven blind participants. Maps generated by SIM at two different scales have been tested by a user study with 10 participants, who were asked to perform a number of tasks designed to ascertain the spatial knowledge acquired through map exploration. These tasks included cross-map pointing and path finding, and determination of turn direction/walker orientation during imagined path traversal. By and large, participants were able to successfully complete the tasks, suggesting that these types of maps could be useful for pre-journey spatial learning.
