“…The system operates on a casual smartphone and communicates with the blind by the touch screen and by the voice messages generated by speech synthesizer. Nandish et al [3] presented a research of a navigation system for blind people to provide more precise location information. To identify the position and orientation and location of the blind person the authors rely on Global Positioning System (GPS) technology, TTS (Text-to-Speech) program and Google Maps APIs to provide navigation with voices.…”

Promoting social inclusion is a field of active research and an emergent topic that relates to blind and visually impaired people. They face plenty of problems in their daily routines and solutions to increase their independence are important. Among the difficulties they face, we discuss two that aim to help them in the use of public transport and the carrying out of walking routes between strategic points such as the City Hall, Finances, Health Center, etc. While the first task can be easier to accomplish, the later relies on GPS and as there are places with week signal, there are some additional difficulties. In this paper, we present a case study, developed in the Historical Center of Viana do Castelo, a city on the north of Portugal, which had the collaboration of a Visually Impaired Association that helped us along the process of the mobile application development and field tests. We present the objectives, developed prototypes, performed tests and evaluation of the system.

Promoting social inclusion is a field of active research and an emergent topic relates to blind and visually impaired people. Among the difficulties they face, we address two which are related to the use of public transports and performing pedestrian routes between points of reference. Regarding the use of public transports, we address the difficulty blind people feel of knowing where they are along the way preventing them to ring the bell for the driver to stop, in an independent way. Regarding pedestrian walks, we developed a mobile application that allows users to walk to reference points such as the City Hall, Finances, Health Centre, etc. In this paper, we present a case study that targets the two mentioned problems, developed in the Historical Centre of Viana do Castelo, a city on the north of Portugal, made in cooperation with a Visually Impaired Association.
