“…According to the design requirements, the dangerous zone was shaped in a flexible manner, so during realization of the project, a number of tests were performed concerning optimum shape of the antenna and form of the transmitted vibration signal. Results of simulation of the shape of the field demarcating dangerous areas have been presented in a separate paper [15].…”

The paper presents the course of work on construction of a prototype system for demarcating dangerous areas and points of interest for blind and visually impaired people in large urbanized areas. The project included identification of locations requiring to be marked, development of the method of marking the identified zones, and designing the transmission/reception system for identification of both zone and user. Further, vibration signals to be used for conveying information to the user were selected together with the method of teaching blind and visually impaired persons (including children and young people) in identification of dangerous spots and points of interest (POIs) in a large city environment with the use of the proposed system. The paper shows consecutive stages of development of the transmission/reception system and its final effect in the form of a prototype.

“…Since 2009 there is a research project being carried out at AGH University of Science and Technology which aims at developing a method of using wave-vibration tags in marking dangerous and signi cant places for the blind in urban areas Currently a prototype system for marking and identication of the spots dangerous and of special importance for vision impaired persons in the big city with the use of the wave-vibration markers was developed [5,6]. Designed system comprises three modules:…”

The paper constitutes a summary of the work carried out under the research project entitled The development of the method for marking and identi cation of the spots dangerous and of special importance for vision impaired persons in the big city with use of the wave-vibration markers. This article discusses key researches conducted during the project, including review of in uence of environmental sounds on orientation and mobility of blind and partially sighted people, results of vibration perception threshold measurement taken at the wrist of both hands, measurements of paraseismic vibrations and results of researches on annoyance, recognizability and easiness to learn of selected signals.

The paper was inspired by the hitherto published results concerning provision of ecient assistance to visually impaired persons by means of acoustic and vibratory signals. The aim of the auditory training is to shorten the time necessary for execution of auditory information processing, sensibilize blind persons to dierences in sounds and teach them to focus auditory attention on small dierences in parameters of acoustic waves, in order to achieve independent and correct interpretation of environment by hearing and listening. The basic concept of the auditory training addressed to blind or visually impaired children and teenagers is presented in detail. Preliminary verication of the eectiveness of training of young adults without vision impairments has not shown statistically signicant dierences in performance before and after the training. Possible reasons for such an eect are pointed out and solutions are suggested.
