What sensory pedestrian navigation aids for the future? A survey study

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

Recent research and developments in HCI allow imagining what kind of sensory devices could be used for pedestrian navigation in the future. This study was aimed at questioning participants’ expectations for their future pedestrian mobility and the acceptability of five futuristic sensory devices (a smart lens, vibrating clothes, a music app, an olfactory plug and a smart map). Results mainly highlighted an apparent mismatch between participants’ expectations (looking at the surroundings and walking safely) and prospective acceptability of the devices (map is preferred while requiring attention sharing). Thus, the relevance of the common acceptability criteria for prospective research about navigation aids and sensory wearables was discussed.
