Research Abstract |
I did one research about the tactile guide maps and four experiments on the display method of the tactile maps. Research was about the present situation of the setting of the tactile guide maps and information contents and shapes of tactile maps in the big three cities in Japan. I collected 75 tactile maps. First experiment was a test on a shape of a tactile mark for the present location. I found that most affected factor is a height of a mark. Second experiment was a test on surface of a tactile mark for the present location. There was no effect of surface as I expected. Third experiment was a test on the space and size perception. Last experiment was a test on appropriate information and scale of a tactile plan. There were various ways to read the tactile maps. They precept the size and the dimension by the way they got. And It is necessary to consider the right scale for the tactile guide map and volume of information. All subjects of these experiments were blind.
