SeSaMoNet 2.0: Improving a Navigation System for Visually Impaired People

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNISA,volume 6439))

Abstract

The authors present the improvements obtained during the work done for the last installation of SeSaMoNet, a navigation system for blind people. First the mobility issues of visually impaired people are shown together with strategies to solve them. Then an overview of the system and of its main elements is given. Afterward, the reasons which brought to a re-design are explained and finally the main features of the last system revision for the application are presented and compared to the previous one.
