Description
For the visually impaired (VI)'s safe walking, this platform provide both VI and guardians with optimal information through commonly used smart devices. This contributes to enhancing safety of walk, and composing a single platform which integrates each assistive technology by using web-based interface. The overall platform is composed of four categories, and each category interacts with each other through HTTP connection. The experiment was conducted by walk simulation, performance test and descriptive evaluation to test the performance of the platform. As a result, the practicality and defects of the platform are induced from the measurement data and feedback data. The appearance of this platform allows VI not only to get the optimal information but also to improve safety of walk. As for guardians, they can administrate the application, and update the latest information at any time, which contributes to individual administration.
