Spatial media for people who are blind or visually impaired (B/VI) have evolved
considerably in the years following Chris Perkins' review of tactile map research, especially …

The human brain can form cognitive maps of a spatial environment, which can support
wayfinding. In this study, we investigated cognitive map formation of an environment …

This article starts by discussing the state of the art in accessible interactive maps for use by
