Abstract

The emergence of new technologies provides the opportunity to develop novel solutions that facilitate the integration of the visual disabled 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 in orchestras. The DIAMI architecture provides a distributed, ubiquitous system aimed at providing a way for blind musicians to receive the instructions of the orchestra conductor in an unobstructive manner. The structure of the DIAMI architecture and the preliminary results obtained are presented in detail within this paper.
