WALKING
|
sidewalk's slope and ramp
|
Orienting andHaptic System |
inclination of the feet and correction for the body balance axis |
crossing of pedestrians |
safe place to cross a street |
different textures (tactile floors, type of paving)
|
Haptic and Auditory System |
different sounds produced by the flare of the cane. Feet feel different textures |
delimitation of street and sidewalks. Information about tactile floors (change of direction, move on, obstacle, etc.) |
possible or safe way forward / inappropriate walking places |
own movement
|
Orienting andHaptic SystemPerception of Time |
Forces of gravity and acceleration, tissue deformation, joint configurations; instantaneous and sequential events |
Body balance; direction and (de) acceleration of motion; body positions; duration and rhythm |
Relative position in space; speed and pace of movement; direction and distance; notion of movement and actions, notion of sequence; pace and duration of movement |
platforms in stations
|
Orienting andHaptic System |
touch of the cane with pedestrian platforms unevenness and rolling range of vehicles |
linear direction, delimitation of spaces |
safe place to follow continuously until the place of embarkation or departure from the station |
WALKING AND EMBARKED
|
different sounds
|
Auditory System |
Air Vibration |
Nature and location of the sound source (station, crossing, restaurant, school, square, etc.) |
recognition and location of nearby and distant activities; dimensions of the environments; location of walls and openings, information emitted by sound systems / applications / presence of vehicles / arrivals and departures, etc. |
different smells
|
Taste / smell System |
Chemicals in the air |
Nature and location of activities and spaces (fuel station, bakery, pharmacy, shoe store, etc.) |
confirm the location of a place or identify activities (smell of fuel when entering the station or on a motorized street) |
wind
|
Haptic and Auditory system |
Different pressures and temperature felt by the skin; Vibration and sound of the air |
Directions, intensity and temperature of the wind, sound of the wind |
Vehicle openings (windows and doors), perception of corners; places that are known to receive wind |
sun and shadow
|
Haptic system |
temperature felt by the skin; perception of clarity and darkness (for people who can still distinguish light) |
Different temperatures, light and dark |
The sides of the street, the presence of vegetation, buildings and vertical / horizontal surfaces (such as entering a station - by the cover); geographical orientation; notion of time |
surfaces of support (dimensions, shapes, levels, texture)
|
Orienting andHaptic System |
Deformation of the tissues, configuration of joints, forces of gravity |
contact with different materials; shapes of objects; material state (strength / viscosity) |
safe places to walk; preferential seats; tactile track |
motor vehicles
|
Auditory and Haptic System |
Vibration and sound output |
Number of vehicles |
location of stations, the street, parking lots, fuel stations |
EMBARKED
|
vehicle movement
|
Orienting and Haptic SystemPerception of Time |
acceleration, braking, right, left, up and down |
curves, conversions, spines, traffic flow, number of vehicles, traffic lights, crosswalk |
location of stations, the street, parking lots, fuel stations.location of the vehicle, proximity to reference points (may be revealed by number of spines or conversions, for example) |
vehicle access / exit door / preferred seat
|
Orienting, Auditory and Haptic System |
sound shadow, air movement, ratchet sound, driver's speech and movements |
perception of the driver's location, ratchet, vehicle entry and exit |
place to go, sit and go |
