Title
Verbal associations to tactile patterns: a step towards textured legends in multimodal maps
Abstract
In this paper we present a pilot study designed to investigate how tactile patterns are spontaneously interpreted by subjects. Participants were confronted to a sample of 40 tactile patterns. The results show strong correlations in the way subjects spontaneously associate verbal description to a clearly identified set of patterns. In terms of application, the study aimed to provide empirical evidence that can support the selection of appropriate tactile patterns in multimodal maps for blind or visually impaired users.
