2. Objetivos generales: Mediante este tipo de tecnología mejorar las condiciones en las personas con discapacidad visual y hacerlas participes de los nuevos hallazgos de la ciencia. Mejorar la calidad de vida de las personas invidentes. Crear un puente entre los avances tecnológicos convencionales, formando alternativas para que las personas que tiene cualquier tipo de incapacidad se sientan menos discriminadas.
3. VizWiz, a new application for mobile, visually impaired provides near real-time solutions to everyday problems. VizWiz may, for example, help the blind to read your mail, coordinate their teams understand restaurant menus, check expiration dates and interpret road signs. Simply take a picture with the iPhone and send it with the corresponding question. The application must speed and accuracy to a combination of computer chips. a computer program capable of recognizing text and distinguish objects in a that for the real world has proved a great challenge for researchers
4. For this reason, researchers are following VizWiz - a team of computer scientists at several universities including the University of Rochester - decided to outsource the task of solving problems, leaving it to people: specifically, workers Amazon Mechanical Turk line.
5. NAVIGATING THE 3D HUMAN BODY The first interactive online tool to search the human body in 3D allows the user to view and navigate through the human anatomy, a man or woman, to the smallest detail, from the muscles to nerves, arteries, blood vessels and bones. The new tool, called BodyMaps, has been developed by Healthline Networks, a company that provides health information to consumers online, and GE Healthyimagination, a Web platform that shares and promotes projects that focus on consumer health, such as applications or videos explanatory.
6. BodyMaps is a tool to educate the user in terms of health or medical problems. In the center of the page BodyMaps is a 3D image of the human body and left textual information can be found on the body section shown. As the user moves the mouse over the text, highlighted in the image corresponding body section and vice versa (if the user moves the mouse over the image). At the bottom is a bar that allows the user to rotate the body 360 degrees. The site also includes videos and tips on how to stay healthy and disease information on symptoms and a definition of the section you are viewing.
7. The user can select a body region to explore by clicking the text or image, or using the search tool. For example, selecting the shoulders, the tool generates a clear image in 3D and high definition of the shoulder section, starting with the skin level, with the option to click through to the muscles, nerves and blood vessels Finally, the bone. If you choose a particular muscle, there is a definition and other muscles become shaded. One option for further information longer provides a definition and description of the muscle, including the most common injuries related to, and its causes and symptoms
