Sensory replacement and substitution techniques based on a camera system can provide valuable spatial wayfinding information for people that are blind or visually impaired when conveyed via an underutilized sense such as touch (haptics).
The case study research design included document review of the library's wayfinding information system; unobtrusive observation of library user wayfinding behavior; intensive interviews with library users to discuss their views on wayfinding in the library; and an expert review with library staff and a library wayfinding and signage expert to validate research findings.
We categorize wayfinding aids, including detailed wayfinding information, as information factors.
Measures included path choices, wayfinding performance and information usage.
It has also stated its intention of establishing a sense of place through wayfinding, sharing information through cutting-edge technology, and active programming of open space.
To do this, it brings together research from a range of specialties including cognitive psychology, visual perception, communication studies, environmental design, interpretive exhibit design, interpretive signage, wayfinding, storytelling, courtroom litigation, information graphics, and graphic design to illustrate not only what approaches are effective but why they work as they do.

Although AR cannot modify environmental factors directly, it can provide contextually aware information for wayfinding such as augmented routes and color notes to distinguish destination or key points.
Our approach takes into account studies dealing with human spatial cognition, wayfinding in physical environments, and information navigation in electronic media.
Most digital signage customers use screens to sell advertising space, provide information or assist wayfinding.
Miller and Lewis Millerr et al. 1990) established effective wayfinding guidance for healthcare facilities that categorized the factors affecting wayfinding into people, environment, and information factors.
