Mapping architectural barriers for the "Internazionale Festival 2014"

25 March 2014

On Saturday 12 April 2014 we are organising a survey of architectural barriers in Ferrara (see on OpenStreetMap: http://osm.org/go/xdVwGPv9R-?relation=43512).

The purpose is to collect deailed information about existing barriers to be used in the next Internazionale Festival (http://www.internazionale.it/festival/) in October 2014.

We would like to thank the students of Faculty of Architecture that will help us: Beatrice, Chiara, Elena, Elisabetta, Laura, Luca, Giacomo, Giulia, Giuliana, Guido, Ludovica, Matilde, Martina, Simona, Stefano.

They will be coordinated by Sergio Fortini (lecturer) and using the iTunes App developed in the project they will map the city center.

We would also express our sincere thanks to the local organisers of the Festival, namely Paolo Vettorello and Pietro Pinna, for their great support.

i-SCOPE project and the White Cane Safety Day

15 October 2013

Today, October 15th, people around the world celebrate White Cane Safety Day. International White Cane Safety Day has been held on 15 October every year since 1964 to celebrate the achievements of visually impaired persons. It also celebrates the white cane as a symbol for blindness and a tool of independence.

Since i-SCOPE in one of 3 scenarios focuses on an assertive technology that will increase safety and better independence of blind and visually impaired people, it must be also considered as a tool of independence. Technologies that we are developing on i-SCOPE are recommended to be used together with a white cane or guided dog in order to enhance safety and free movement of this group of population and that's why this day is important for i-SCOPE team as well.
