Accessible Spatial Information - Non-visual maps for orientation
1 like632 views
The document by Christian Graf discusses the importance of accessible spatial information for individuals with disabilities, focusing on non-visual maps and universal design principles. It highlights open-source geographic information systems (GIS) that improve accessibility for mobility-impaired and visually impaired users. The author also emphasizes the need for inclusive GIS practices and innovative concepts for tactile maps to aid wayfinding and orientation.
