HaptiMap
The HaptiMap project, a current research program in the European Community, is aimed at making maps and location based services more accessible by using several senses like touch, hearing and vision. It will enable digital maps and mobile location based services to be accessible to a wide range of users. The strategy is to develop tools that make it easier for developers to add adaptable multi modal components (designed to improve accessibility) into their applications; to raise the awareness of these issues via new guidelines and to suggest extensions to existing design practices so that accessibility issues are considered throughout the design process. The existing consortium consists of 13 partners.
