GIS and people with visual impairments or blindness: Exploring the potential for education, orientation, and navigation
1997
Transactions on GIS
GIS, with their predominantly visual communication of spatial information, may appear to have little to offer people with visual impairments or blindness. However, because GIS store and manage the spatial relations between objects, alternative, nonvisual ways to communicate this information can be utilized. As such, modified GIS could provide people with visual impairments access to detailed spatial information that would aid spatiallearoiog, orientation, and spatial choice and decision making.
