Abstract

People with disabilities living in Brazil face great difficulties in the tasks of daily life mainly due to the lack of accessibility in public spaces, products and services. In this context, we noticed a lack of a computing tool that embraces both people with visual and hearing impairment. This work presents TATU -- a mobile application for both Android and iOS platforms aimed at supporting people with visual or hearing impairment to enjoy Brazilian tourist attractions, including both open-air and indoor spaces. TATU application has an adaptive interface exclusively designed for each of the impairment user profiles, it can work on guided tour mode by indoor navigation using BLE beacons and outdoor navigation using GPS. Our solution was evaluated by three experiments, one of which was carried out with blind volunteers and TATU application obtained satisfactory results for both spacious attractions with the lowest density of collection items and for the smallest spaces.

TATU:一种支持残障游客使用移动设备进行室内外导航的方法

生活在巴西的残疾人在日常生活中面临着很大的困难，主要原因是公共空间、产品和服务缺乏可达性。在这种情况下，我们注意到缺乏一种同时适用于视觉和听觉障碍人士的计算工具。这项工作展示了TATU——一个安卓和iOS平台的移动应用程序，旨在帮助有视觉或听力障碍的人享受巴西的旅游景点，包括露天和室内空间。TATU应用程序有一个专门为每个残疾用户配置文件设计的自适应界面，它可以通过使用BLE信标的室内导航和使用GPS的室外导航在导游模式下工作。我们的解决方案通过三个实验进行了评估，其中一个是由盲人志愿者和TATU应用程序进行的，无论是在收集物品密度最低的宽敞景点还是在最小的空间，都获得了令人满意的结果。
