Exploring the Functional Specifications of a Localized Wayfinding Verbal Aid for
Blind Pedestrians: Simple and Structured Urban Areas

此篇是針對盲人設計出合適的語音，輔助盲人行走於都市中，對於輔具的設計並沒有探討，指專注於何種的語音字彙描述周遭環境與指引對於盲人最有幫助。
對於我們的精障導航不太一樣，正在找尋切入點。

如果依照本論文的實驗方法，研究者走在盲人前接受口頭指引，並紀錄盲人給予的口語資訊，進行研究分析，如果用於精障導航是否能用類似的方法分析出合適的引導資訊？

不過本篇的研究方式，以8位盲人所提供的口頭指引，經過研究分類出不同的Guidance Functions，Traveling Situations，再以不熟悉的地方在進行實驗，再進行分析修改，是可以學習的地方。

The discussion of the design technology for people with cognitive impairement

ACM CHI 2006 Workshop on
Designing Technology for People with Cognitive Impairments

some important topic for our design

- Developing appropriate design and evaluation methods.

- Managing participant recruitment.

- Designing for a“universe of one”vs. attaining generalizability.

- Understanding the role of diagnoses vs. functional assessments.

- Requirement for dual user interface development.

- Requirement for strong multi-disciplinary teams.

- Locating sources for research partnerships and funding.
