    Desarrollo de un sistema que permita la movilidad de forma autónoma a las personas con baja visión en la ciudad de Medellín
    (2019) Arroyave Cuartas, Natalia; Marroquín Sierra, Carolina
    Stadistics estimate that in Colombia 163.000 people have visual disabilities and 94% of them depend on others to perform their daily tasks. In 2006, the countries belonging to the UN celebrated the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), in which a general commitment was made to ensure this group of people have equal rights and opportunities as everyone else (Naciones Unidas, 2006). The compliance of said commitment in Colombia however, is none existent, particularly in the area of visual impairment. The lack of implementation of holistic initiatives to improve the autonomy of these people in the city affects their daily life and generates symptoms regarding depression, anxiety, and stress (Méndez Ulricha & Sanz, 2016). The main barriers to ensure this group carries out their daily activities are the conditions of the streets or roads (45.7%), the public transport adaptability (33.5%) and the equipment in parks, squares, and stadiums (25.1%)”, barriers that integrate public space and public transport. Hence, the constant efforts needed to intervene the city infrastructure. The number of people visually impaired grows exponentially every year. Stadistics estimate that population with visual limitations could triple by 2050 (WHO, 2017). Given this future scenario, this project proposes a support system to improve mobility for the visually impaired population in the city of Medellin. The solution integrates three core elements that increase the interaction between the user and the environment enabling faster and easier mobility, (1) displaying information through infrastructure elements of the city, (2) providing orientation functionalities in a mobile application, and (3) enhancing the guiding cane with technological complementary devices to assist the user and feed the mobile app in real time

    Diseño y construcción de un prototipo de bastón sensorial para invidentes mediante la utilización de ultrasonido
    (2015) Ribón Barrios, Deisy del Carmen; Ríos Linares, Javier; Paternina Palacio, Katia
    La movilidad en las vías de Cartagena para las personas con discapacidad ha sido una problemática de muchos años, debido a que las calles de las ciudades no son aptas para el tránsito de cualquier persona con algún tipo de discapacidad en especial los invidentes; queriendo dar solución al problema que los aqueja, surgió este proyecto de investigación, el cual consiste en un sensor de ultrasonido que detecta a cierta distancia objetos, personas, animales, entre otros, que se le crucen a la persona, adaptando este sistema al bastón que ellos usan convencionalmente, dándole así más seguridad a la hora de transitar en las calles de cualquier ciudad del país. Se ensamblo un dispositivo o circuito, el cual contiene un microcontrolador ARDUINO Sparfunk pro micro, que es una pequeña placa que posee una memoria que se programa mediante código java y c++; un sensor de ultrasonido que hace el proceso de detección de los objetos, personas, etc., un motor el cual le dará una señal de alerta al acercarse a los dichos objetos, personas, entre otros, y un interruptor que le permitirá mantenerlo apagado cuando no la persona invidente no lo esté usando. Este proyecto se presenta como prototipo debido a que las necesidades de los invidentes son distintas y no se puede definir un sistema de alerta que funcione y que cumpla con las necesidades de ellos, también porque pueden realizarse mejoras añadiéndole otras funciones que pueden ser de beneficio para los ciegos

    Diseño y prototipado de un juego tangible de figuras geométricas básicas para niños con ceguera total
    (Universidad de San Buenaventura - Cali, 2017) Olaya González, Angélica María; Parra Carmona, Bryan Ernesto; Peñeñory Beltrán, Víctor Manuel
    Design project of a tangible game for the teaching of basic geometric figures and their respective prototype for children with total visual disability, using the implementation of the Montessori methodology for their respective development, this game is a tool that not only allows the child Play but also through the use contributes in the development of his logical and structured thinking, since he must analyze and test what he has in his environment by following a few steps which will bring him to an end which is the discovery of The geometric figure, allowing also to interact in a safe way and develop their other senses that are the ones that allow you to relate to your space and get the information. Therefore early stimulation in these children is of vital importance since it helps in the development and strengthening of capacities that will be useful to them throughout their life.

    Estrategias de adaptación y diseño inclusivo para personas con diferentes niveles de discapacidad visual a través de espacios multisensoriales
    (2021) Beltrán Castaño, Miguel Ángel; Bustamante Velásquez, Valentina; Cuervo Calle, Juan José
    Buildings and public spaces are undoubtedly the most important environments for a person, where most of the basic activities of daily life take place, it is the physical space where the human being moves, relates, feeds, reproduces, where the satisfaction of numerous aspirations, motivations and personal values takes place.The evolution of architecture has been marked by periods that have directly influenced its transformation, mainly the industrial revolution where all processes were standardized in search of mass production, which, in turn, caused the movement of repetitive modular constructions in which there is a tendency to carry the same distribution of spaces without character or identity, which the user is forced to adapt with distinctive features. Currently, inclusive designs have been implemented for the visually impaired, such as educational centers, hospitals, public spaces or other transit environments. However, the tools applied in public facilities have not been planned for the different levels of visual impairment due to the standardization of a visually impaired human being, understood as a blind person without any optical capacity.

    Objective: Characterize leisure, recreation and sports practices and the environmental factors of people with sensory disabilities in the City of Cartagena. Methodology: A descriptive cross-sectional investigation was carried out. The population consisted of 75 people with sensory disabilities aged between 11 and 87 years who belonged to the LIVICOL Foundation, ASORCART and ASORBOL. The research was developed through the application of the survey "Practices of Leisure, Recreation and Sport of People with Disabilities of the City of Cartagena" based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (CIF). The data obtained were tabulated in the Microsoft Office Excel program and then analyzed with the Epi Info ™ 7.2 program. Results: 70% of the participants were male, with an average age of 32 years and their disability was from birth (69%). In relation to sports practices, only 17% practice a conventional sport and 87% carry out cultural activities.

    Reconocimiento facial para representar rostros en 2D usando tecnología basada en Pinart para personas con discapacidad visual
    (Universidad de San Buenaventura - Cali, 2018) Araujo Silva, José Luis; Cardona Escobar, Christian Andrés; Delgado Vargas, Johan Sebastián; Cano Mazuera, Sandra Patricia
    The human being uses the sense of sight in a tacit way. Since the transportation method they pick, until the way they interact and generate content for social networks. Most social interactions are built around this sense, so day by day they take its use for granted. But what about people who lack this sense? This project aims to develop a system that generate a PinArt based representation of the face from an image taken from a Kinect device. This could mean a contribution to the current technologies that improve the life of people with visual disability.

    Sinestesia: sistema de aprendizaje musical para niños con discapacidad visual.
    (Universidad de San Buenaventura - Cali, 2018) Mendoza Tobar, Karoll Johana; Victoria Labrada, Camilo Arturo; Peñeñory Beltrán, Víctor Manuel
    Hoy en día la sociedad es más consciente de las diferentes discapacidades presentes en la misma, lo que ha generado un aumento en el interés de estudiar, e investigar estas discapacidades en pro del desarrollo de alternativas que permitan una mejor adaptación e inclusión de estas personas en los diferentes aspectos de la vida cotidiana. Dentro de las diferentes discapacidades que se pueden presentar en el ser humano, una de las más representativas, debido a que influye de manera significativa en la interacción de la persona con su entorno, es la discapacidad visual, ya que la vista es un sentido a través del cual se realizan diferentes procesos de reconocimiento, percepción y aprendizaje de la realidad que le rodea. Según la ONCE (Organización Nacional de Ciegos Españoles) una persona con discapacidad visual puede tener ciertas características diferenciadoras en su desarrollo cognitivo, motor, y perceptivo, que se pueden ver reflejados en problemas de coordinación, ritmo y demás cualidades, que, según diferentes estudios, tienden a progresar con la práctica musical, ya que la música tiene la capacidad de producir variados efectos en el ser humano sobre aspectos fisiológicos, psicológicos, emocionales y sociales .
