PhD offer: Haptic and tangible interactions for tactile exploration of 3D maps without vision
Keywords Tactile & haptic interaction, user-centered design, visual impairments, prototyping, evaluations, Spatial cognition. Context Wayfinding is a major issue for people with visual impairments (PVIs). In addition to tools such as long canes or dogs to assist mobility, PVIs need assistance to be oriented and find their way to a destination. They can rely on tactile maps for preparing the journey, and they can rely on a personal mobility device […]
Offre de thèse: Modèle cognitif des interactions sans vision dans l’exploration de cartes 3D
Keywords Spatial cognition, interaction, user-centered design, visual impairments, tactile & haptic devices. Context ANR ActivMap (2020-2023) focuses on the issue of orientation and mobility of people with visual impairments (PVIs), which has a real impact on their independence and quality of life. The appropriation of urban space is an essential element to improve their autonomy, because outdoor travel is a major issue. Synthetic and adapted representation with tactile maps and […]

Thackavoir 2020 : on continue !
Dans ce contexte un peu spécial, l’édition 2020 du concours THackaVoir reste maintenue, avec quelques ajustements. Nous espérons pouvoir mener à bien la plupart des projets présentés cette année et organiser la revue de projets dès que la situation nous le permettra, très certainement à l’automne 2020. Thackavoir, un concours collaboratif Thackavoir est un concours collaboratif consistant à créer des objets ou des outils interactifs accessibles aux déficients visuels en […]
