Abstract

This paper presents the design and implementation of mAbES, a mobile, audio-based environment simulator to assist the development of orientation and mobility skills in people who are blind. The modeling scenario of mAbES was a science and technology museum in Porto Alegre, Brazil. The application was designed for use by people who are blind without the supervision of a facilitator or aid. The mAbES software allows for testing the creation of mental maps when people who are blind navigate through the museum. © 2014 Springer International Publishing.
