视障人士面临着与定向和行动有关的重大挑战。易懂的地理地图有助于旅行准备。在历史上，人们使用的是凸起的纸质地图，但这些地图有很大的局限性。然而，最近的技术进步使无障碍互动地图的设计能够克服这些限制。本文介绍了一种基于参与式设计循环的无障碍交互地图原型的开发。介绍了周期中每个阶段的开发步骤：分析背景和用户需求、产生设计想法、制作原型和评估视障用户的原型。我们的研究证实了这些地图类型的高可用性，因此对视障人士来说也很重要。
Visually impaired people face important challenges related to orientation and mobility. Accessible geographic maps are helpful for travel preparation. Historically, raised-line paper maps have been used, but these maps possess significant limitations. However, recent technological advances have enabled the design of accessible interactive maps that overcome these limitations. This paper presents the development of an accessible interactive map prototype based on the cycle of participatory design. Development steps are presented for each phase in the cycle: the analysis of context and users' needs, generation of design ideas, prototyping and the evaluation of the prototype with visually impaired users. Our studies confirm a high usability and, thus, importance of these map types to the visually impaired.
