Electronic bracelet to facilitate navigation in smartphones to people with motor and visual impairment

Abstract

In this paper, we analyze the physical characteristics of a user with both visual and motor impairment, as well as the user's context of smartphone use. Based on these factors, we designed a bracelet to facilitate navigation through gestures that are easy to do by users with motor and visual impairment. We present the low fidelity prototype of the bracelet and the proposed user gestures.
