Resumo: | In the information age, accessibility to computers and smartphones for persons with disabilities is necessary. Caeski aims to facilitate the communication of persons with deafblindness in presential contexts or mediated by technology. It includes a keyboard and joystick interface with twelve buttons that allow typing and the reception of information by vibration. The objective of this work is to present this assistive technology that allows agile and borderless communication of persons with deafblindness with deafblind and non-deafblind interlocutors located anywhere in the world. To this aim, the Caeski application was developed, which operates via internet on computers or smartphones. During the development process of this technology, tests were made with potential users and the interaction between researchers and persons with deafblindness was crucial to understand their needs and particularities. From the demands identified during the tests, a game was developed, in which it is possible for the user to become familiar with Caeski's combinations, associating learning to entertainment. This is an innovative technology developed in Brasil. |
