Um sistema de recomendações de eventos culturais com áudio-descrição

Abstract

Around one billion people in the world live with some kind of disability, while almost 24% of the Brazilian population has declared some kind of disability in the 2010 CENSUS. Therefore, the increasingly constant presence of people with visual impairment in cutural spaces has increased and is also due to the presence of communicational accessibility resources. The technological advance has made the disposition of such resources much easier and closer, increasing audience’s autonomy. Based on this argument, this work aims to present the planning and development of an audio-description cultural event recommendation system for blind people using mobile devices, increasing the independence and capacity of the natural indication process to human relationships through collaborative filtering item-based and content-based algorithms. We generated a potential database of these kinds of events, a study about the proposed algorithms and an application usability experiment. The absence of statistical evaluation for the maden evaluations was discovered, since the users’ approach in selecting notes for the events is personal, also resulting from the non-existent consistency of its data.
