本文综述了针对盲人群体的基于听觉和触觉反馈的辅助技术的最新进展。当前的技术允许应用程序在移动和手持设备上有效地分布和运行，即使在计算需求很大的情况下也是如此。因此，电子旅行辅助设备、导航辅助模块、文本转语音应用程序以及将音频与触觉通道相结合的虚拟音频显示正在被集成到标准的移动设备中。这一趋势，加上越来越友好的界面和交互模式的出现，为视力障碍用户的康复和培训开辟了各种新的前景。本文的目的是根据基础研究和应用开发的最新进展，对这些发展进行概述。以这一概述为基础，概述了未来移动交互设计研究的议程，涉及有特殊需求的用户，以及最终与一般传感器桥接应用相关的研究。
This paper summarizes recent developments in audio and tactile feedback based assistive technologies targeting the blind community. Current technology allows applications to be efficiently distributed and run on mobile and handheld devices, even in cases where computational requirements are significant. As a result, electronic travel aids, navigational assistance modules, text-to-speech applications, as well as virtual audio displays which combine audio with haptic channels are becoming integrated into standard mobile devices. This trend, combined with the appearance of increasingly user-friendly interfaces and modes of interaction has opened a variety of new perspectives for the rehabilitation and training of users with visual impairments. The goal of this paper is to provide an overview of these developments based on recent advances in basic research and application development. Using this overview as a foundation, an agenda is outlined for future research in mobile interaction design with respect to users with special needs, as well as ultimately in relation to sensor-bridging applications in general.
