TLDR
The concept of a tactile compass is presented, which encodes the direction of a location "as the crow flies" in rhythmic patterns and its distance in the pause between two patterns and together with the map it improved the participants' confidence in the navigation system.Citations

Accessible Interactive Maps for Visually Impaired Users
TL;DR: This chapter presents an exhaustive review of interactive map prototypes and classified existing interactive maps into two categories: Digital Interactive Maps that are displayed on a flat surface such as a screen; and Hybrid Interactive Maps (HIMs) that include both a digital and a physical representation.

PocketNavigator: studying tactile navigation systems in-situ
TL;DR: A large-scale in-situ study of tactile feedback for pedestrian navigation systems is reported and data collected through anonymous monitoring suggests that tactile feedback is successfully adopted in one third of all trips and has positive effects on the user's level of distraction.

HaptiMoto: turn-by-turn haptic route guidance interface for motorcyclists
TL;DR: HaptiMoto, a wearable haptic route guidance system that uses tactile signals to encode the distance and direction of approaching turns, thus avoiding interference with audio/visual awareness, is created.

Development of a self-report measure of environmental spatial ability.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a standardized self-report scale of environmental spatial ability, the Santa Barbara Sense of Direction Scale (SBSOD), which is used for everyday tasks such as finding one's way in the environment and learning the layout of a new environment.

Gender differences in way-finding strategies: relationship to spatial ability and spatial anxiety
TL;DR: This article found that women were more likely to report attending to instructions on how to get from place to place and maintaining a sense of their own position in relation to environmental reference points than men.
Tactons: Structured Tactile Messages for Non-Visual Information Display
Stephen Brewster,Lorna M. Brown +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a new form of tactile output, called tactile icons, which can be used to communicate messages non-visually, and describe the parameters used to construct them and some possible ways to design them.

Tactons: structured tactile messages for non-visual information display
Stephen Brewster,Lorna M. Brown +1 more
TL;DR: A new form of tactile output, Tactons, is described, which are structured, abstract messages that can be used to communicate messages non-visually, particularly where the visual display is overloaded, limited in size or not available.

Waypoint navigation with a vibrotactile waist belt
TL;DR: The results show that mapping waypoint direction on the location of vibration is an effective coding scheme that requires no training, but that coding for distance does not improve performance compared to a control condition with no distance information.
