Auditory and Haptic Interaction Design of Accessible Digital Museum Based on the Blind Information Processing Theory

Abstract

Visual centralization is the main feature of the traditional museum, which causes great difficulties for the blind to visit. To solve the problem, this article proposes an accessible digital museum based on the blind information processing theory. It is an interactive platform based on auditory and haptic interaction design, which aims to help the blind convert visual information into auditory and haptic information. We cooperated with Nanshan Museum and Shenzhen Accessible Environment Association to carry out experiments. A total of 13 blind people participated in the experiment, 7 of them participated in the pre-experiment and 6 participated in the formal experiment. Results show that the accessible digital museum based on the blind information processing theory has a positive effect on the information perception, museum experience and self-efficacy.
