Title Inclusive Smart City: expanding design possibilities for persons with disabilities in the urban space
Year 2016
Published
Abstract This paper presents an approach combining concepts such as Internet of Things (IoT) and Cloud Computing to create digital assistive technology focused on the urban space context. We propose the convergence of Smart City, Urban Computing, Accessibility and Universal Design in order to provide a citizen experience of independence and autonomy in the city for a range of people that frequently depend on the aid of others to perform some activities that are ordinary for most people: identifying objects inside a subway station or localizing the right position of a pharmacy in a street.
