Abstract

People with visual and/or mobility impairment lack of independence while buying, since/nthey are not able to identify the products due to lack of accessibility to the shelf./nTo solve this problem, we propose Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), which/nidentifies products automatically; and Arduino to provide interaction with sensors. The/ncombination of these technologies is integrated in the field of ubiquitous computing./nThis project presents a new method using the technologies mentioned above: a capacitive/nsensor built with seven areas of interaction and an audio-enabled web application,/nassisting the user to identify what products are on a shelf. We also tested light, infrared/nand contact sensors to compare the usefulness of each one./nThe developed system can facilitate the independence of disabled users thanks to the/nshelf-person interaction and assistance by audio. The tests let us to consider a better label/nlocation system as future work.
