Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Popular digital maps use light colors in the background and roads This color arrangement makes it difficult for people with low vision to track routes on these maps Thus, we developed an online map in which users can change color of roads and the background arbitrarily This online map was evaluated through an experiment in which thirty-two sighted subjects followed routes in maps with four kinds of color arrangements with / without low vision goggles As a result, maps with gray roads and those with a black background shortened tracking times compared to maps with light-colored roads and background
