| Resumo: | People with manipulative and locomotive disabilities represents a large fraction of the population classified as disabled, including the elder, injured and other health related issues. Wheelchairs have evolved in order to maintain their mobility, autonomy and independence in the society. Despite important achievements in accessibility in current society (e.g. streets adapted to wheelchairs, or public transportation adapted with ramps and elevators), people with motor disabilities still lack independence in daily activities to improve their quality of life. Shopping is one example, where users can not access products in shelves beyond their arm length. Due to this barrier they often need personal assistance or support to complete all the necessary steps in the shopping activity. However, wheelchair users may prefer to shop individually (that is, without the assistance) in order to maintain their independence and privacy. This dissertation presents a novel systems that allows wheelchair user to interact with items placed beyond their arm length, by means of real-time interactive interfaces collaborated with Radio Frequency Identification (RFID). Our proposal, based on the concept of Smart Spaces, allows the users to interact through Hand-held, Smart Glass or Touch Screen interfaces in real-time with the items present on the shelf. We designed and evaluated the system with the participation of 18 wheelchair users with different degrees of physical disabilities. The obtained results demonstrate the suitability of our proposed system towards an improvement of the independence and empowerment of wheelchair users in shopping activities. |
