室内导航是一项重要的服务，目前业界和学术界都在研究。虽然研究的主要焦点是计算用户的位置，但当目标用户失明或视力受损（BVI）时，传达引导指令的额外挑战就会出现。此贡献介绍了我们正在进行的研究，旨在采用声化技术来指导英属维尔京群岛人。我们特别介绍了三种声音技术来指导用户旋转。由 7 名英属维尔京群岛人员进行的初步结果表明，所提出的一些超声处理技术优于之前贡献中采用的基准解决方案。
Indoor navigation is an important service, currently investigated both in industry and academia. While the main focus of research is the computation of users' position, the additional challenge of conveying guidance instructions arises when the target user is blind or visually impaired (BVI). This contribution presents our ongoing research aimed at adopting sonification techniques to guide a BVI person. In particular we introduce three sonification techniques to guide the user during rotations. Preliminary results, conducted with 7 BVI people, show that some of the proposed sonification technique outperform a benchmark solution adopted in previous contributions.
