所讨论的研究是一项更大的研究的组成部分，该研究旨在探索通过包括触觉、听觉和视觉界面在内的多种感觉模式呈现的空间数据的可访问性和可用性。地理信息系统(GIS)和其他基于计算机的空间显示工具主要使用视觉向用户传达信息，因为视觉是空间感的卓越之处。正在进行的研究正在探索在多模式界面中导航所需的基本概念和技术，这些界面是特定于用户、任务、域和界面的。这凸显了概念/理论模式的必要性，以及广泛可用性研究的必要性。在非视觉环境中探索特征识别和形状跟踪的初步结果表明，多模式界面在促进盲人和视障人士访问空间数据方面具有巨大的潜力。这项研究是为了更广泛的目标，即增加信息可获得性和促进“普遍获取”。
The research discussed is a component of a larger study to explore the accessibility and usability of spatial data presented through multiple sensory modalities including haptic, auditory and visual interfaces. Geographical information systems (GIS) and other computer-based tools for spatial display predominantly use vision to communicate information to the user, as sight is the spatial sense par excellence. Ongoing research is exploring the fundamental concepts and techniques necessary to navigate through multimodal interfaces, which are user, task, domain, and interface specific. This highlights the necessity for both a conceptual/theoretical schema, and the need for extensive usability studies. Preliminary results presented here exploring feature recognition, and shape tracing in non-visual environments indicate multimodal interfaces have a great deal of potential for facilitating access to spatial data for blind and visually impaired persons. The research is undertaken with the wider goals of increasing information accessibility and promoting "universal access.".
