BlinGui: uma solução vestível de apoio a pessoas portadoras de deficiência visual na detecção de obstáculos estáticos em ambientes internos
Abstract
Frequently, visually impaired people bump into objects during their walking paths and this is the main cause of collision accidents. To minimize this problem, many researches develop technological solutions capable of detecting obstacles such as eletronic canes. However this type of solution is ineffective for different scenarios with limitations in the perception of obstacles, besides occupying one hand. This article present the development of a new solution wearable, that is the BlinGui for detecting static obstacles in indoor environments. Wearable devices have the advantage to function without the use of hands, and is observable and controllable. The evaluation had on average 90% positive results.
