Abstract
The development of a haptic-feedback enabled mobile application for pedestrian routing is described. One of
the challenges presented to users of pedestrian navigation applications on mobile devices is the requirement
that the user continuously interacts with the visual interface on the mobile device. Haptic feedback or
haptics, is a technology that uses forced feedback, vibrations and/or motions to the user which are interpreted
using our sense of touch. The haptic user interface, in our application, on a mobile device provides
unobtrusive feedback in the form of vibration alarms to assist the user in navigating from one point to the
other. The user can hold the mobile device discretely in their hand without the need to view the screen. For
spatial data the OpenStreetMap (OSM) database is used while the Cloudmade routing API is used as the
routing engine.
