Nicholas A. Giudice is a researcher at the University of Maine known for his work on accessible technology, spatial cognition, and multimodal interface design for people who are blind or visually impaired.[1]
Research
Giudice's research addresses accessible interfaces and spatial information systems, with particular attention to how blind and visually impaired users interact with maps, vehicles, and touchscreen devices. According to Semantic Scholar, his published output totals 92 papers with 2,712 citations and an h-index of 27.[2]
His work has examined autonomous and ridesharing technologies for blind and visually impaired travelers, including the design of the Autonomous Vehicle Assistant (AVA) and multisensory mid-air gestures for use in vehicles.[3][4] He has also studied tactile and haptic interfaces, including web-based tools for authoring indoor tactile maps and ultrasonic haptic interfaces for line perception.[5][6] Additional research has explored spatial audio for graph rendering on touchscreen devices and cognitive map decay in older adults.[7][8]
