Abstract(in English) In this paper, we study how to use an auditory display and a pen input tactile guide as a support system for blind to recognize the layout of GUI objects. We find that the sound obtained by HRTFs of sound source near the pinna in the median plane is easy to locate. As a simple model of GUI object layout, 25 buttons arrangement system that the localized sound is added to each button is proposed, and the effects of localized sound for grasping the position of buttons are examined.
