Beschreibung:
  • Assisting utterances are helpful for blind and visually impaired map users exploring tactile maps. Virtual tactile maps explorable by haptic human-computer interfaces form the basis for multimodal presentations including automatically generated assisting utterances. This paper presents first empirical results regarding the type of utterances suitable for assisting the acquisition of survey knowledge on the basis of virtual tactile maps. The structure of the internal knowledge base, which has to support a connection between dynamic exploration movements and natural language, is presented. An example illustrates the approach and shows its practicability. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
