Abstract
This paper introduces an approach for enabling visually impaired and blind people to practice jogging activities by 3D environment perception for course detection and collision avoidance, as well as feedback generation in an intuitive manner. Besides a system concept, first prototypic realizations, that confirm the general feasibility, are presented for this domain, which has not been addressed by research until now.
