Arteguía: Bringing Art Closer to Visually Impaired People

Abstract

In this study, we discuss a technical development trying to answer the question: Is it possible that visually impaired people can “see” the art? Probably, the answer is no, but we believe that it is possible to construct a similar multi-sensorial experience. In the Pinacoteca of the University of Concepción a project was developed that integrates 3D printing, “iBeacons,” a gyroscope, floor guides, and mobile applications to bring the art closer to visually impaired people. This paper highlights the challenge, the experience, and the results of the experience.
