Title
Evaluating the Performance of Wearable Tecassist Device using Aural and Tactile Feedbacks.
Abstract
This work presents a methodology and results of tests in order to evaluate a wearable electronic device (cap) adapted for people with visual impairment using in urban locomotion. At the time two versions were tested, one using aural feedback and another using tactile feedback. Visually impaired participants of the Association of Blind People of Passo Fundo tested these versions. A controlled environment simulated a real path with obstacles to be avoided by the participants. Preliminary results showed that most part of participants preferred the tactile feedback, but we observed better performances with the aural feedback. New evaluations are necessary in order to validate this approach considering a larger group of users.
