3D audio maps and models for people with severe visual impairment

3D printing is a modern approach to aids that can make spatial representations more accessible to people with severe visual impairments, refine their erceptions of the space around them, create an idea of things that are difficult to palpate, etc. At Palacký University in Olomouc we started research on this topic in 2008 and we are still not finished.

This article summarizes more than fifteen years of work in this area and presents the results of each research period. The largest part of the article is then devoted to the possibilities of linking 3D models, maps and plans with the audio output provided by an application on a tablet or mobile phone.
