Interface tátil para auxílio no deslocamento de pessoas com deficiência visual

Abstract

It has a lot of social relevance, developing work aimed at making more independent visually impaired, especially in its locomotion. This work aims to develop an tactile interface for "FollowVibe" application with the aid of function in displacement pre-mapped environments, using Arduino controller and actuator-type motor vibracall. Using a tactile solution to displacement implies that sense of hearing will be more available to the user while not prevent use of touch. Tactile solution also enables a more accurate interface in a shorter time, since many actuators may be used and that the same time it takes signal that indicates a direction, takes signal from any other direction by changing only actuators to be driven. User will wear a glove with actuators and receive commands application. These commands are directions that user must follow. For each direction, a combination of actuators is triggered in glove. For each user movement, a new direction is setted until desired destination been reached. Tests will show performed to verify device’s efficiency
