| Abstract(in English) | Walking tests with normal persons and persons with visual impairment were performed to evaluate performance of the guide signal commonly used for mobility assistance in public spaces. The tests were performed in a reverberant and noisy gym. The parameters for experiments were directivity of loudspeakers, presentation level and direction of the guide signal. The effects of the parameters on success rates, waking tracks, and required time to reach the sound source were analyzed. For the wide-directional guide signal, guidances were succeeded in most cases. However, the walking tracks were tend to be circuitous. The narrow-directional guide signal could guide the participants straight to the destination. However, some participants strayed when they departed from the start-goal line. |
