SUMMARY:Navigation Assistance via Haptic Technology for Blind or Low-Visio
 n Users: A Scoping Review
DESCRIPTION:Shirley Tang and Gaojian Huang (San Jose State University)\n\n
 With at least 2.2 billion people facing challenges due to vision impairmen
 t, advancements in haptic technology have been explored as an effective, a
 lternate avenue to provide support in aspects such as accessible navigatio
 n. A scoping review was conducted to investigate the recent literature on 
 haptic technology used to guide blind or low-vision users to a destination
 , focusing on 28 articles that were identified using the PRISMA method. Re
 sults revealed a focus on the methods of haptic input, specifically benefi
 ts and gaps in hands-free and hand-held devices. Several studies utilized 
 advantages of employing a multimodal feedback approach with audio to bette
 r convey navigation information, while explorations of the performance of 
 different types of haptic feedback were also discussed. Overall, this stud
 y provides insights into recent advancements in haptic design, which can a
 ssist researchers in improving developments toward inclusive navigation te
 chnology for blind or low-vision individuals.\n\nTrack: Age and Ability\n\
