Good morning,
The following information was provided by Greg Fields, Accessibility
Manager at RIM.
1. Georgia... location aware devices
There are 2 related projects:
A) Georgia tech - The contact there is Leanne West, and they are using
mobiles to improve awareness of location in building (museum, airport,
etc) for assisted wayfinding for persons with disabilities. I don't
know how public their research is, but I can provide an intro email
for you to Leanne. She and her team are great!
B) ASK-IT - a euro funded research project geared to wheelchair
accessible mapping and wayfinding -http://www.ask-it.org/
2. Accessible mapping
There are 2 projects here:
A) ASK-IT again - http://www.ask-it.org/
B) Czech technical University in Prague is looking at a text-based
mapping app as a side project of AEGIS, design for blind users. They
are putting their paper together on this and just prototyping now. I
can point you to more very soon.
HTH,
Everett
