متن کاملAn Electronic Travel Aid to Assist Blind and Visually Impaired People to Avoid Obstacles
When devices and applications provide assistance to people they become part of assistive technology. If the assistance is given to impaired people, then it is possible to refer those technologies as adaptive technologies. The main aims of these systems are substitution of physical assistants and the improvement of typical tools already available for impaired people. In this paper some benefits ...
متن کاملDesigning 3d Audio and Haptic Interfaces for Training the Sound Localization Ability of the Visually Impaired People
An assistive device, based on an alternate sensory modality, such as hearing or touch, can help the blind individuals to gain spatial awareness, to enhance their navigational skills and to improve their life quality. The purpose of our research is to develop a navigational system that would enable the visually impaired people to travel and orient in space by substituting the visual sense with r...
متن کاملSensor-Based Assistive Devices for Visually-Impaired People: Current Status, Challenges, and Future Directions
The World Health Organization (WHO) reported that there are 285 million visuallyimpaired people worldwide. Among these individuals, there are 39 million who are totally blind. There have been several systems designed to support visually-impaired people and to improve the quality of their lives. Unfortunately, most of these systems are limited in their capabilities. In this paper, we present a c...
