Dispositivo de apoio à população portadora de deficiência visual na identificação de produtos alimentares
Authors: Mendes, Margarida Ramos de Deus;
Abstract

Cerca de 80% da informação que o ser humano recebe é através da visão. Para pessoas cegas e com perda de visão severa a mais simples atividade do dia-a-dia pode tornar-se num desafio.
A identificação de produtos é um problema comum para estas pessoas, principalmente produtos alimentares, sempre que a pessoa necessita de ir às compras, na despensa em casa ou em cada refeição do dia em que é necessário cozinhar. Para ajudar a população portadora de deficiência visual, a enfrentar este problema, esta dissertação tem como objeto de estudo o desenvolvimento de um equipamento/dispositivo que resolva este obstáculo de maneira a dar-lhe mais autonomia. Durante o desenvolvimento deste estudo foi importante salientar temas como o “Design Inclusivo”, o “Interação Produto/ Utilizador”, “Deficiência Visual” e a “Identificação de produtos”. Em termos metodológicos foi realizada, nesta dissertação, uma investigação de natureza mista assente em métodos intervencionistas e não-intervencionistas. Elaborou-se uma revisão da literatura, com o objetivo de reunir as bases teóricas das áreas de estudo; recorreu- se a uma análise de casos de estudo; fez-se um levantamento dos dispositivos existentes no mercado recorrendo a um estudo de casos; foram realizadas conversas informais, mas essenciais ao desenvolvimento do projeto e ainda se concretizou uma entrevista exploratória com um grupo de amostragem. Aplicando ainda uma metodologia não-intervencionista, foram feitos inquéritos por entrevista ao grupo de amostragem, colaborador e especialista, com o intuito de perceber que alterações seriam necessárias para a evolução do projeto. Simultaneamente, e numa vertente mais prática de investigação ativa, foram criados diversos modelos-teste do dispositivo, em que o último modelo, mais próximo daquilo que seria o dispositivo na realidade, foi utilizado para a realização de uma avaliação e simulação da utilização do mesmo, com o grupo de amostragem. Deste modo, espera-se que este processo de investigação permita mostrar a importância de uma melhor maneira de identificar produtos alimentares que facilite a rotina diária das pessoas portadoras de de ciência visual, melhorando consequentemente a sua qualidade de vida.

ABSTRACT: About 80% of the information that the human being receives is through vision. For blind people and with severe vision loss, the simplest day-today activity can become a challenge.
Product identification is a common problem for these people, especially food products, whenever they need to go shopping, in the pantry at home or at each meal of the day when it is necessary to cook. To help the population with visual imparment dealing with this problem, this dissertation has as object of study, the development of an equipment/device that can solve this problem in order to give more autonomy. During the development of this study it was important to highlight themes such as “Inclusive Design”, “Product-User Interaction”, “Visual Impairment” and “Product Identification”.
In methodological terms it was made, in this dissertation, a mixed nature investigation with interventionist and non-interventionist methods. A review of the literature was made, aiming to gather the theoretical bases of the study areas; It was made an analysis of study cases; a survey of the existing devices on the market was done using case studies; informal conversations were carried out, but they were essential to the development of the Project, it was also done an exploratory interview with a sampling group. Applying a non- interventionist methodology, were elaborated surveys by interview to the sampling group, a collaborator and a specialist, in order to understand what changes would be necessary for the evolution of the project. Simultaneously, and in a more practical eld of active investigation, several test models of the device were created, in which the last one, closer to what the device would actually be, was used to carry out an evaluation and simulation of its use, with the sampling group. Therefore, is expected that this process of investigation shows the importance of a better way to identify food products that facilitates the daily routine of blind or visually impaired people, giving them the desired autonomy.
