The vast Nishi-Chiba Campus, the headquarters of Chiba University, is not designed for the visually impaired. The surrounding area is well-equipped with Braille blocks. Chiba University, as a university that promotes diversity, needs to create a campus environment that is friendly to the visually impaired by improving flow lines, such as steps, and installing voice guidance systems. However, the development of infrastructure requires an enormous budget. The purpose of this project is to have able-bodied volunteers act as simulated visually impaired people and use a mobility support application to list obstacles that the application cannot recognize.

Five healthy volunteers will be fitted with eye masks and asked to move around the Nishi-Chiba campus in an environment accompanied by the principal investigator, relying on Eye Navi, a walking assistance application for the visually impaired, to list obstacles that the application cannot recognize.
