Abstract :

[en] The study reported by this article was based on previous studies about the development of assistive technology for visually impaired athletes and aimed to evaluate a tracking topology that can be applied for the location and orientation of visually impaired on Paralympic Athletics. The paper presents the tracking topology and its integration in a trajectory monitoring system able to provide vibratory stimulus to visually impaired athletes. Moreover, the paper also presents the results of an experiment that was set up to evaluate a trajectory monitoring system prototype by eight visually impaired athletes when performing their training activities.
