Session description

You will find the prototype of a keyboard in a speaking Braille version, which can be adapted to any computer and allow a visually impaired person to use a conventional keyboard in a tactile way, adapted to their needs. Facilitating spatial location by having a conventional keyboard without this adaptation.

Purpose & objective

yWe want to present an option of inclusion in the use of technology to people with visual impairment, the objective is for participants to visualize and experience how traditional media can be adapted for inclusion in our community. In our case we have a student with visual weakness and one of the biggest challenges we faced was when working with a computer, since other subjects make curricular adjustments, however in his technology class he chose to reinforce other aspects , since he could not work alongside his colleagues. This motivated and inspired other students to look for the means and through the design thinking process a PBL was launched, which did not allow generating different prototypes by using different algorithms for programming and automation.
