dc.description.abstractThis thesis project uses a three tiered approach to explore new ways to make maps and Geographic Information Systems as accessible and useful for non-sighted people as they are for those with sight. The first tier explores how and why we have experienced difficulty when investigating non-visual cartography and devising innovative mapping strategies. The second tier draws upon critical cartographic theory and promising findings from extant research to propose an interaction-centric approach for research progress. The third tier proposes and demonstrates a prototype non-visual digital mapping system called the Fuse-Map Interface. Overarching topics include the adverse influence of assumptions and epistemological traditions in non-visual cartography, the importance of reflexive map interactions that enable the synthesis of meaning from representations of spatial data, and novel user interface technologies developed for non-visual human computer interactions. Necessary affordances for non-visual maps and new multi-modal human computer interfaces are also discussed in depth.en_US
