RFID Information Grid for Blind Navigation and Wayfinding

Date: January 2008
Type: White Paper
Rating: (0)

Overview: Blind students are at a tremendous disadvantage when they arrive on a college campus, where they must somehow face the challenges of being an incoming freshman who can not find their classrooms, meet with academic advisors, or find the line to stand in during the professor’s office hours to ask a question about homework. This white paper describes a navigation and location determination system for the blind using an RFID tag grid. Each RFID tag is programmed upon installation with spatial coordinates and information describing the surroundings. This allows for a self-describing and localized information system.
