[games_access] Steering using haptic cues

[Eelke Folmer]

Self-driving vehicles have a large potential to improve the mobility of
blind people, but current legislation requires manual controls and a legal
driver to be present in the vehicle to take over in case of a malfunction.

In an attempt to develop a better understanding of how blind people could
drive a vehicle using non visual feedback my lab developed a simple haptic
steering interface. We used mostly game hardware (Sony Move + Logitech G27)
for our experiments but i'm sure we could further develop this into a
racing game.
Anyone interested see the video <http://youtu.be/Ewib8wzXrn4> or our paper
<http://eelke.com/files/pubs/blinddriving.pdf> which I will present next
week at ASSETS.

Let me know what you think.

Best Eelke
