Abstract
This paper describes a device conceived to guide blind people. In this device, we use both localization informations provided by a precise and low latency real-time positioning system and head orientation data measured with an Inertial Measurement Unit, coupled with a real-time binaural engine. In this paper we made a special focus on the localization techniques that we have studied. First experiments show that the approach is viable and the system can be used in practice ...
