Resumen

This innovative project focuses on creating a technologically advanced glove inspired by the iconic Iron Man glove, specifically for children with visual-space deficits. The main objective is to significantly improve the quality of life of these children by providing them with an interactive tool that allows them to interact with their environment more safely and autonomously. The methodology for developing this glove involved integrating several electronic components, an Arduino UNO, an open-source electronics platform based on easy-to-use hardware and software. An ultrasonic sensor, a device that can measure distance to an object using sound waves, was used to detect nearby objects and alert the user to their presence. In addition, an LCD screen was incorporated to provide valuable visual information to the user, and a horn that emits an audible sound when the user approaches an object, serving as an additional warning signal. LEDs were incorporated to improve the glove's aesthetics and make it more attractive to children. The results indicate that the glove facilitates children's mobility intuitively and excitingly, improving special awareness and their ability to navigate their environment. In conclusion, this glove demonstrates how technology can make a positive difference in the lives of those with visual impairments. Not only does it improve their mobility and safety, but it also opens new possibilities for their inclusion and active participation in society. This project is a testament to the power of technology to transform lives and create a more inclusive and accessible world for everyone.
