Uses of Wayfinding Tools by People Who Are Blind and Low Vision.

This paper presents the results of a research study of people who are blind or low vision about their experiences using wayfinding tools. The results present the accessibility issues when using wayfinding tools and assistive technology to learn about new locations. An online survey followed by a series of interviews was conducted with ten people who identify as blind and six with low vision to learn their opinions and concerns about accessibility of three types of wayfinding tools, digital maps, navigation apps and camera apps.
