  • Abstract
    People with sensory disabilities have difficulties in terms of mobility, in order to reduce these shortcomings presented in terms of location in unknown locations, and facilitate the handling of routes to a specific destination, we designed and implemented a system geographic information, for mobile, called B-WalkMóvil. The system through a simple and intuitive interface says to the person the information necessary to get where you want, taking into account current location the place of departure and destination. Tests with B-WalkMóvil allowed blind people to reach their destination from the recommendations given by the mobile.
