| Abstract(in English) | To make the map easier to read for people with low vision, we created an online map with a black background, white roads and railroads, and yellow text in the map. The evaluation of this map by people with low vision showed the easiness of the selected color scheme. At the same time, we received requests for functions that would allow users to change the text and color scheme in the map by themselves, and to highlight transportation facilities. Therefore, we added a function that allows users to edit the show/hide of texts, roads, and railroads in the map, as well as the color scheme of the map, and implemented it as a web application. In the future, we will verify to what extent this application can improve the readability of maps for people with low vision. |
