A corrective-feedback system for helping a person with multiple disabilities during indoor travel.
An unobtrusive system, which provided corrective feedback (vibratory stimulation) for an incorrect direction, was used to help a woman with deafness and profound intellectual and visual disabilities during her indoor travel. The data showed that the woman used the system very effectively and reached destinations for performing activities independently. Implications of the findings are discussed.
