Diseño e implementación de un prototipo apoyado mediante una aplicación android para guiar a personas con discapacidad visual dentro de un recinto cerrado a partir de lineas magnéticas

Abstract

In this work we present the design and implementation of an application for Android devices connected wirelessly via Bluetooth with the cane (prototype) that allows the transmission of information, captured by means of the technology Radio frequency identification RFID and the magnetic tape that we will use as a guide, such information shall be presented in the form of a synthesized voice to User (blind); technology that is present in great part of mobile devices, which facilitates the implementation of various applications that involve to streamline tasks of daily living and improve their quality of life. In this case will be used RFID technology for location of the places of interest, and the magnetic tape as a guide to move within an enclosure, replacing the location by means of GPS, since it presents a large error at the time of show the position in real time, for this is implemented the reading of the RFID Tags (use of sensors).
