This paper reports the development of a new haptic direction indicator, which will help blind pedestrians to travel a path including avoiding hazardous areas intuitively and safely by means of haptic navigation. A novel kinesthetic perception method, called the "pseudo-attraction force technique", is applied to a haptic direction indicator, which exploits the nonlinear relationship between perceived acceleration and physical acceleration to generate a force sensation. An experiment was performed to clarify the perceptual characteristics for visually impaired pedestrians to walk a predefined route in a human-size maze. The results indicate that they safely walked along a predefined route with the haptic direction indicator at their usual walk pace, independent of the existence of auditory information.
