       Martin Talbot 	Title : A user-centric design for spatial auditory maps
       Abstract:
       I will present the results of a user-study on environmental maps
	involving five blind participants and two orientation mobility 
	specialists. The study consisted of interviewing the seven participants 
	and observing the five blind participants interacting with tangible maps 
	and low-fidelity prototypes. A design framework for the construction of 
	spatial auditory maps will make use the information presented in this 
	talk.
