我们展示了我们的参与式和迭代设计的 3D 音频触觉地球仪，使盲人和弱视用户能够感知地理空间信息。盲人和弱视用户依靠 2D 触觉图形、盲文地图和 3D 模型等学习辅助工具来学习地理。我们采用参与式设计作为原型设计和评估跨感官地球的四种不同迭代的方法，该地球使用 3D 可拆卸大陆来提供与音频标签相结合的地理空间触觉信息。根据我们的参与式设计和评估，我们讨论跨感官教育辅助工具作为视觉导向地球仪的替代方案。我们的研究结果揭示了 3D 触觉模型的功能可供性，用于传达地球的具体特征（例如不同的地貌海拔）和音频标签，用于传达有关地球的抽象类别（例如大陆名称）。我们强调纵向参与式设计的优势，其中包括盲人和弱视用户和创客的生活体验和 DIY 创新。
We present our participatively and iteratively designed 3D audio-tactile globe that enables blind and low-vision users to perceive geo-spatial information. Blind and low-vision users rely on learning aids such as 2D-tactile graphics, braille maps and 3D models to learn about geography. We employed participatory design as an approach to prototyping and evaluating four different iterations of a cross-sensory globe that uses 3D detachable continents to provide geo-spatial haptic information in combination with audio labels. Informed by our participatory design and evaluation, we discuss cross-sensory educational aids as an alternative to visually-oriented globes. Our findings reveal affordances of 3D-tactile models for conveying concrete features of the Earth (such as varying elevations of landforms) and audio labels for conveying abstract categories about the Earth (such as continent names). We highlight the advantages of longitudinal participatory design that includes the lived experiences and DIY innovations of blind and low-vision users and makers.
