Teams from the Computer & Information Sciences Department have been working with Geography Asst. Professor Amy Lobben to develop tools to help the visually impaired navigate their way through maps and the real world. Under the supervision of Professor Michal Young, a group of 15 students is working on tracking finger movements on a tactile map. They hope to help better understand how visually impaired people use maps and lead to the creation of improved, cheaper technology in the future.
