Navigation in the Museum of Bayeux Tapestry

The navigation project aims to improve the navigation of people with visual impairments For this it is divided into several modules:

  • a module allowing the generation of a graph from a plan
  • a module allowing to manually place points of interest on a map
  • a module allowing navigation in a map

The route used in navigation has the following specificities:

  • It can be multi-floor (by connecting 2 points of interest located on different floors)
  • It can be defined in several sections subsequently
  • It can have a modifiable resolution (zoom)

Navigation is centered on the user (ego-centered) by providing him with the necessary information:

  • audio indication of the direction and the distance to the next stage (node ​​of the navigation graph)
  • preventive indication before crossing a door
  • indication of the nearest point of interest
