Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) In this paper, indoor navigation software for PDA is introduced, developed to support persons with topographical disorientation, one of higher brain dysfunctions. It can provide directions to prevent users from missing their ways indoors. The name of the room that the user should head for is displayed along with some photos and memos on the PDA. The user can reach the objective point by checking and following the names of the rooms displayed sequentially. Using with a two-dimensional code scanner, the user can obtain the present position information and a proper orientation via tags, printed 2D codes. The usage of the software is very simple and the display itself is designed to be easily comprehensible. Through some evaluation experiments, this software was evaluated as available for people with topographical disorientation especially when walking around unfamiliar places.
