VIBRO: FEEL ME AND WALK DESIGNING A DEVICE FOR THE BLIND PEOPLE

The thesis project aims to address the issue of mobility of blind people, focusing on understanding the obstacles they may encounter during their daily life. The research is based on the analysis of the user, space and perception, trying to identify the main challenges that blind people have to face in order to move around safely and independently. Following the analysis, the project involves the creation of a device that can help blind people in their daily mobility. The device uses sensors to detect the surrounding space and with tactile feedback, helps the person to move safely, signaling the presence of any obstacles or dangers. The final goal of the thesis project is to improve the quality of life of blind people, off ering them a safer and more eff ective mobility experience. Furthermore, the device created could have a positive impact on their independence and autonomy, helping to improve their social inclusion.
