Introduction

Teiresias — Support Centre for Students with Special Needs

  • university-wide unit providing services
  • making curricula and educational environment accessible

for students, teachers and employees with special needs

  • → inter alia: eliminating physical barriers in university

premises

  • mapping accessibility of buildings

2. verbal description of the specific elements

  • Stadtführer barrierfreies Bremen — Informationes für Alle

3. combination: interactive maps with a brief description

  • Wheelmap.org

Our methodology

  • not to assess a building whether it simply conforms the

regulation or not

  • but: to keep records of technical specifications relevant to

have a view on practical accessibility of the building Is the building accessible? Yes/Partly/No → HOW?

Virtual guide — structure

  • web-based application, for several platforms
  • primary idea: kind of virtual guide
  • consists of:

○ panoramic images of key points (360 degrees) ○ still images ○ text descriptions of the key points ○ trace lines indicating typical tracks (and linking images) ○ interactive plan view ○ navigation controls

Virtual guide — content

  • barrier-free entrance into the building
  • barrier-free options of moving within the building vertically

(location of elevators, ramps, lift platforms etc.)

  • barrier-free cloakrooms
  • highlighting of typical tracks to the most used destinations

(teaching rooms, libraries, dining hall etc.) Including accurate technical specifications (e.g. dimensions, gradient, instructions to use devices etc.)

Virtual guide — how to use

  • moving within the building vertically — top controls (1)
  • moving within the building horizontally:

○ interactive plan view (2) ○ trace lines (3)

  • key points — viewing and interacting:

○ bottom controls (4) ○ interactive sphere (5)

  • technical specifications:

○ text descriptions and still images (6)

Virtual guide — technologies applied

  • starting index of university buildings

(list of faculties and map): ○ Kentico CMS (part of our main web system)

  • virtual guide itself:

○ Krpano, Panotour systems

Virtual guide and the future...

  • to add features (e.g. users’ notifications of updates,

changes and malfunctions discovered in the buildings)

  • to process data of further buildings of MU
  • closer interconnection with the central information system
  • f MU
