HeliCoach: An Adaptive Orientation and Mobility Training System in a Drone-Based 3D Audio Space
Extended Abstracts of the 2020 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing …, 2020•dl.acm.org
We present HeliCoach, an adaptive O&M (orientation and mobility) training system to help
visually impaired people to gain audio-orientation ability efficiently. HeliCoach is a mastery-
based adaptive learning system consists of three components: A drone-based physically
simulated 3D audio space, a UWB (Ultra-Wide Band)-supported assessment system, an
intelligent belt with haptic feedback as training scaffolds. We evaluated the acceptability and
efficiency of HeliCoach on both blindfolded sighted participants and visually impaired …

We present HeliCoach, an adaptive O&M (orientation and mobility) training system to help visually impaired people to gain audio-orientation ability efficiently. HeliCoach is a mastery-based adaptive learning system consists of three components: A drone-based physically simulated 3D audio space, a UWB (Ultra-Wide Band)-supported assessment system, an intelligent belt with haptic feedback as training scaffolds. We evaluated the acceptability and efficiency of HeliCoach on both blindfolded sighted participants and visually impaired participants in an audio-orientation task. The results showed that HeliCoach was efficient and interesting. Thus, We believe HeliCoach can be applied to many simulated 3D audio space related task to train people more efficiently.
