Stadistics estimate that in Colombia 163.000 people have visual disabilities and 94% of them depend on others to perform their daily tasks. In 2006, the countries belonging to the UN celebrated the Convention on the Rights
of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), in which a general commitment was made to ensure this group of people have equal rights and opportunities as everyone else (Naciones Unidas, 2006). The compliance of said
commitment in Colombia however, is none existent, particularly in the area of visual impairment. The lack of implementation of holistic initiatives to improve the autonomy of these people in the city affects their daily life and generates symptoms regarding depression, anxiety, and stress (Méndez Ulricha & Sanz, 2016). The main barriers to ensure this group carries out their daily activities are the conditions of the streets or roads (45.7%), the public transport adaptability (33.5%) and the equipment in parks, squares, and stadiums (25.1%)”, barriers that integrate public space and public transport. Hence, the constant efforts needed to intervene the city infrastructure. The number of people visually impaired grows exponentially every year. Stadistics estimate that population with visual limitations could triple by 2050 (WHO, 2017). Given this future scenario, this project proposes a support system to improve mobility for the visually impaired population in the city of Medellin. The solution integrates three core elements that increase the interaction between the user and the environment enabling faster and easier mobility, (1) displaying information through infrastructure elements of the city, (2) providing orientation functionalities in a mobile application, and (3) enhancing the guiding cane with technological complementary devices to assist the user and feed the mobile app in real time |
