Abstract

Usually, people with some physical disability, especially those with some type of visual impairment or diminished vision, are very little considered in all the wide range of advantages offered by technologiesas in the case of telecommunications. Colombia does not escape this reality, thereby, thinking of a solution to assist the population with partial and / or permanent visual impairments, a Geolocation Location System,SUGIH (Sistema de Ubicación porGeolocalización),was developed.This is a multiplatform webapplication whose use is aimed at this group of people. Moreover, the platform was made under the HyperText Markup Language version 5(HTML5), Cascading StyleSheets version 3 (CCS3),Hypertext Preprocessor (PHP),and Javascriptprogramming languages, along with the Artyom.js library, to make the interaction with audio-commands possible.The above is based on the recommendations of good practices issued by international organizations regarding easy access for people with visual disabilities to information transmition by any audio-visual mean and of general interest. Results of the field tests demonstrate the effectiveness and ease of use, being acceptable and appealingfor the users.
