    Indoor Orientation System for Visually Impaired: Example Application in a Library Building
    (The 8th International Conference on Emerging Global Trends in University Library Development (ICEGTULD 2019), 2019-06-06) Üneş, Mehmet; Metzger, Lawrence; Yap, Joseph M.; Dautova, Anar; Tendik, Yermekpayeva
    University libraries are indispensable resources that students frequently visit to access reliable academic and information despite the widespread use of online content. Although certain access facilities are provided, it is sometimes difficult for the visually impaired to reach their desired objectives in such important centers. This project implemented user-friendly features which allowed for downloading the mobile application to one’s phone which in turn is activated before entering the library building. When the person enters the building, the application tells him or her where he or she is. It then proceeds to update this information as the user walks within the building. In addition, the user can choose one of the points installed in the application at any time. After selecting one of the locations such as the reading room, toilet, or offices, the application starts to voice what the user should do just like a road map navigation application. It is only necessary to shake the phone in order to listen to the directive again.
