Leap Motion como tecnologia assistiva para pessoas com deficiência motora nos membros superiores

Abstract

People with disabilities (PcD) use resources to support their daily practices and / or to allow their inclusion in social, educational, communication or entertainment media. These resources have their origin based on the discipline of Assistive Technology. The diversity of applications that can enhance the interaction capabilities of motor PcD, in various activities, is a reality. The existence of a catalog that contains its categorization, as well as the results related to the satisfaction and performance of the individual in its use, can be useful for these people. In this sense, this article addresses a study on the usability of applications for people with motor disabilities of the upper limbs, allowing the selection and categorization of those that can be used through the motion sensor Leap Motion Controller as a resource of Assistive Technology. As a result, we have a catalog that contains the description of a suite of applications that are used by the device and that can be useful for this target audience.
