  • Abstract
    We developed an adaptive indoor navigation system for users with limited orientation with special focus on visually impaired and senior people. A qualitative study (n = 12) was conducted investigating problems of navigation in large national hospitals. Several prototypes were designed and iteratively tested with potential users (n = 13). Findings are reported in a form of design recommendations for indoor navigation systems for users with limited orientation.
