• Abstract:

  This study will investigate the information available on visual impairment in order to understand the mathematics learning process in students with blindness or low vision who attend schools. It will analyze the means they use, their difficulties, as well as the current developments in ICT and the different ways of possible developments that can serve as a guide for these students and their teachers, becoming a means of teaching/learning. After the analysis, we will conclude with the programming of a prototype of a mobile application that, using voice and the sensors of the touch screen of a cell phone, will allow people with blindness or low vision to make geometric figures with their fingertips. Currently, the integration of an artificial intelligence model is being developed so that the student can choose the geometric figure to draw and, within the virtual environment, obtain answers to questions related to mathematics, simulating the presence of a tutor to accompany him in his learning. In addition, there are plans to add new functions such as assisted mathematical calculations.
