Offer Description
The aim of the research is to investigate and experiment with methods of accessing cultural heritage, specifically graffiti, for individuals who are visually impaired. The tools used will be 3D modeling and 3D printing for the realization of tactile models with respect to which will be used audio descriptions activated in relation to the spatial position of the user. For this purpose, it is essential to know the position using the different possible techniques of indoor positioning. The innovative approach adopted combines 3D technology with positioning strategies, allowing an accessible and engaging enjoyment of cultural heritage. This research is a significant contribution to social inclusion and the enhancement of culture by individuals who by the nature of the objects could not have access and knowledge to it.
