Title
CabBoots: shoes with integrated guidance system
Abstract
Conventional navigational devices normally communicate with the user on the acoustic and visual levels. Concerning pedestrian navigation, the visual and auditive based output channels do not always work satisfyingly due to several reasons. This paper describes the concept for an alternate interface for pedestrian guidance applications, called CabBoots. The information transmission process can be perceived tactilely, is intuitively understandable, and is applied to the part of the body most directly involved in the act of walking: the foot. The applied communications metaphor is familiar to all; it's something that everyone who's ever walked along a well-trodden path is aware of.
