| Abstract(in English) | A GPS (Global Positioning System) and GIS(Geographic Information System) based speech-output guidance system has been developed as the assistive technology for the visually impaired. In this report, to develop a practical speech-output guidance system for the visually impaired, we developed novel software which enables location data to be input by a visually impaired person. We also developed the speech-output data management system. Here a user is able to input location data and able to receive speech-based guidance using a GPS mobile phone or a PDA that has a GPS receiving unit. Moreover, the speech-output data management system enables input and output of data according to a user's coordinate position on a digital map. Such maps now cover the entire area of Japan. Using a GPS mobile phone, our experimental work suggests that a user can receive speech-output guidance within 15 seconds, automatically. |
