Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) This study aims to develop an augmented reality (AR) navigation application to support safe walking for individuals with hearing impairments. The app uses Google API to provide visual route information and intuitive navigation. By combining GPS and a built-in compass, it offers real-time directional guidance. Additionally, distinct vibration patterns for turns enhance safety by providing tactile alerts. This research leverages visual and tactile feedback to help hearing-impaired individuals move safely and confidently, aiming to improve accessibility and increase their mobility freedom.
