Abstract

The emergence of new technologies is providing opportunities to develop novel solutions that facilitate the integration of visually impaired people in different activities of our daily life. This paper presents a distributed intelligent architecture, called DIAMI, focused on facilitating the integration of blind musicians into orchestras. The DIAMI architecture provides a distributed, ubiquitous system aimed at providing a way for blind musicians to receive instructions from the orchestra conductor in an unobtrusive manner. The structure of the DIAMI architecture and the preliminary results obtained are presented in detail within this paper.
