Title: | Information and Assisted Navigation System for Blind People | Authors: | Duarte, Karen Cecílio, José Silva, Jorge Sá Furtado, Pedro |
Keywords: | Assisted Navigation; Indoor; Blind People; Blind Assistive Technology | Issue Date: | 2014 | Publisher: | Walter de Gruyter | Project: | iCIS Intelligent Computing in the Internet Services (CENTRO-07- ST24 FEDER 002003) | Serial title, monograph or event: | International Journal on Smart Sensing and Intelligent Systems | Volume: | 7 | Issue: | 5 | Abstract: | Nowadays public buildings are changing constantly, often people have to take different routes to reach known destinations. At the same time, new services and places are made available to attract more people to the shopping center. This dynamic environment is usually signalled and labelled with visual marks and signs which are not appropriated for blind persons. Therefore, blind users are unintentionally deprived of a full participation in the society. With the purpose of equalize the access to services and spaces among all persons, this work proposes an innovative indoor navigation and information system for public buildings, namely shopping centers, based on existing technologies not used for this purpose. Intending to allow a comfortable and helpful aid on blind persons trips to the shopping center, this proposal system relies on users smartphone and wireless sensors deployed in the environment. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/109461 | ISSN: | 1178-5608 | DOI: | 10.21307/ijssis-2019-062 | Rights: | openAccess |
