Resumen
- Tourism is an interesting activity for everyone. There are many ways to enjoy it, from resting off the beaten track to visit the main sights or museums of a city. However, this activity often involves the need to deal with unknown environments, ln this work, we discuss thc uscfulness of an application called Lauus to contribute a more accessible tourism for blind people through some experiments. We check whether it helps or not to navigate from one point to another across a town and to ﬁnd famous places or discover unknown but interesting oncs, such as restaurants or pubs.
