Código linguístico aplicável a dispositivos de atuação vibrátil para orientação de atletas deficientes visuais na modalidade corrida em pista

Abstract

Assistive technologies aim to improve the quality of life and welfare of people with special needs. This is important since power techniques can be bypassed, providing the possibility of autonomous physical functions in their daily lives. An example of assistive technology can be seen in a athletic field scenario for the visually impaired, where the competition with mobility is autonomous and drivers have access to a guide with a high index of disqualification problems. Performance is important when entering the pair. This context, developed in the cadent guide with the wireless communication technology, which generate commands for the frequency and use to guide of the deficient visual in a race. This linguistic code was defined and validated in tests with their visuals that were executed only with the device commanded manually, without the guide on the side.
