我们开发了一种新的工具包，用于组装三维（3D）触觉地图，为视觉障碍人士提供定向和移动（O&M）训练。本研究评估了口头解释与3D触觉地图工具包相结合的效果，与仅口头解释的效果相比，在提高理解、回忆和沿沿着不熟悉的路线行走方面的效果。3D触觉地图为有严重视觉障碍和触觉地图经验很少的参与者提供了更好地理解和回忆有关路线和地标的环境信息。使用3D触觉地图的参与者可以更准确地找到作为任务设置的特定地标，并且独自到达目的地，迷路的频率较低。由3D点、线和区域部分组成的触觉地图可用作O&M培训的辅助工具，因为它们具有高触觉可读性，并且可以提供视力障碍者所需的环境信息。
We developed a new kit to assemble three-dimensional (3D) tactile maps for orientation and mobility (O&M) training provided to persons with visual impairments. This study evaluated the effects of verbal explanations combined with 3D tactile map kits in improving understanding, recall, and walking along an unfamiliar route in comparison with the effects of only verbal explanation. The 3D tactile maps provided participants having severe visual impairments and little experience with tactile maps with a better understanding and recall of the environmental information concerning the route and landmarks. Participants who used the 3D tactile maps could find specific landmarks set as tasks more accurately and arrive at the destination alone getting lost less frequently. Tactile maps composed of 3D points, lines, and areal parts are useful as a support aid for O&M training because they have high tactile readability and can provide the environmental information that individuals with visual impairment require.
