We often encounter, not only straight walls, but also convex walls in various buildings in daily life. It is difficult for visually impaired people to walk alone safely and they often lose their way in such buildings.
In this study, in order to clarify the spatial cognition in spaces composed of the convex walls, experiments were carried out in 5 kinds of model spaces in a laboratory. Subjects were visually impaired people and blind-folded people with ordinary vision. The spatial cognition was analyzed through interviews, observation and sketch map, and the wayfinding behavior was analyzed by walking locus and observation.
