Abstract:
The social and professional inclusion of people with visual impairment is currently being sought enough. With accessibility is possible to integrate these people in order to provide equal conditions to them and thus make them an active part of society. Based in this theme, this paper proposes a prototype of an eletromechanical braille cell, which, with the use of an Arduino board, servomotors and software responsible for handling data, it is possible to represent in Braille information collected in the System Management Information Transit accessibility to Visually Impaired - TRANSITUS -V, making it behave like a human-machine interface for reading digital texts in braille.
