Abstract
The article presents the most critical points of an electronic solution that addresses the problem of independently guiding a person with visual disability (partial or total) in a closed area, through the implementation of a guidance system in spaces closed for people with visual impairment [1], consisting of a series of guidelines and information points which can be perceived by an electronic cane used a sensor IR into the protective contact cover (see Fig. 2). The device can be connected wirelessly to a mobile device with a guided design with an Android application that provides audible information to the user (see Fig. 1). In Fig. 2, you can see the number of people who are benefited from the use of inclusive technologies and the reasons for use included in quantitative data. Finally, 65% of people with visual disabilities, use accessible technologies for their ease of use. Use when performing specific tasks or communes.
Diagram of The Electronic Guide System in Closed Spaces 1, shows a diagram of the elements that make up the guidance system in closed spaces for people with visual disabilities, consisting of a series of guidelines and information points (bar codes) which they can be perceived by an intelligent electronic cane connected wirelessly to a mobile device with an app that provides audible information to guide the user.
Evaluation in quantitative criteria of the use of accessible technologies used by people with visual disability and their purpose of use [1].
