A novel wayfinding system based on geo-coded qr codes for individuals with cognitive impairments

Published: 15 October 2007 Publication History

Abstract

In this paper, we present a wayfinding prototype system based geo-coded QR codes for individuals with cognitive impairments. The design draws upon the cognitive models of spatial navigation and consists of wayfinding devices and a tracking system. Compared to the sensor network approach, it is easy to deploy because of low cost and short time frame. The prototype is tested with routes on a campus where a rehabilitation trained job coach oversees the process. The results show the prototype is user friendly and promising with high reliability.
