Tracking System Proposal of Walking Sticks Aiming the Orientation and Mobility of the Visually Impaired

:This article aims to partially present the proposal of developing a system for tracking electronic walking sticks, applied in orientation and mobility of the visually impaired. The embedded walking stick system sends information from the macro and micro navigation to a server of application integrated with a database. The back-end will allow the access to the setting operations of the system and available features and the front-end will be available to you or your family. The system should allow you to add and remove features or services, according to accessibility and usability requirements for each application scenario. The project is part of a case study of a doctoral work that has been developed in the postgraduate studies in Electrical Engineering from the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul.
