Communication system for the blind - the mobile part
Dadák, Jiří ; Rampl, Ivan (referee) ; Herman, Ivo (advisor)
Orientation in big administration buildings can be very difficult for visually impaired people. Although most of the buildings are equipped with elevators, the buttons of which are designated with Braille characters and acoustic signals, it might be very difficult for the visually impaired to actually find the particular office. Even if there were descriptions in Braille at each office door, it would prove very complicating for the visually impaired individual to localize the descriptions in the first place, especially in case of a large number of offices in the building. That may also concern other important places, such as toilets, inside a building. In this thesis, I am going to present a design proposal of a communication system which uses transceivers placed at significant points in a building and receivers placed at the end of the white cane for orientation inside a building.

Kalenský, Ondřej ; Buganská, Tamara (referee) ; Sládek, Josef (advisor)
This bachelor‘s thesis deals with the design of ahand blender. The main problems it covers are designing with consideration to blind and old people, clear and natural control and more options for holding the device. The thesis discovers the essence of the process of blending and whisking. Based on this knowledge, the ambition behind the design of the product is to form anew shape which is in harmony with its function.

Communication system for the blind - the fixed part
Botko, Ondřej ; Koton, Jaroslav (referee) ; Herman, Ivo (advisor)
The thesis deals with problems of navigation blind in buildings, where is not possibility navigation by GPS (Global Positioning System). This thesis contain resolution through the use of communication units, placed in floor of buildings. This comunication units, equipped with receiver and transmitter, can give direction for blind by send own identification to transceiver in speciál stick (the thesis does not contain solving of the stick), which can information blind of position. Two comunication unit solution are available, that differs by using component part. The main difference is in use control unit of circuit. First circuit use as control unit ATAR862-3 (microprocessor and transmitter in one case) and the second one use microprocessor ATmega 8L. Both component made by Atmel corporation. Circuit with ATmega 8L is more exacting on curent consumption, but solving this problem is available and communication unit has low pretensions and long life. The part of thesis is program, which solving communication protocol for no-problem communication between unit in floor and special stick.

Educational program influence on the secondary school students' awareness about the assistance to people with visual disabilities in public space
Šírerová, Karina ; Vařeková, Jitka (advisor) ; Majorová, Simona (referee)
Title: Educational program influence on the secondary school students' awareness about the assistance to people with visual disabilities in public space Objective: The aim of the bachelor thesis is to study the effects of the educational program on secondary school students' awareness about the assistance to people with visual disabilities in public space. The secondary aim of this bachelor thesis is to summarize the practical and safety principles for assistance to people with visual disability in public space and to emphasize the importance of educational programs for public. Methods: Quantitative research in the form of quasi-experiment was aimed on the effect of the educational program in a group of 30 secondary school students. Self-designed test based on the knowledge of the probands was used as a data collection method, in the form of test questions. First half of the probands took the test after they completed the educational program, the second half took the test without attending the program and their answers were based only on their knowledge. Thirty secondary school students aged 14-18 were chosen as the target group. Results: The survey has indicated that a group of fifteen probands who were given a test after they completed the education program has achieved much better awareness of...

What does an invisible city look like
Gavriněvová, Kristýna ; Marcelli, Miroslav (advisor) ; Fulka, Josef (referee)
The subject of this thesis entitled What does an invisible city look like is the perception of a city and the way it is represented. The work is based on urban semiotics that sees urban environment as a particular system of communication. The methods of sensory urbanism and rhythm analysis are employed as well. The author asks whether the cities could be represented by other than visual symbols as it is usually the case for the products of tourism industry (guidebooks, souvenirs, etc.). Usually, the symbol of a particular city is formed by the image of its skyline. In Prague, this is the skyline of the Prague Castle, in Paris, it is the Eiffel tower, in New York, it is the Statue of Liberty, etc. But every city has definitely many other qualities. What are they? To find the answer, the author asks for help the visually impaired people. These people can tell easily what are the non-visual qualities of the urban space as they experience them necessarily in their everyday life and use them for better orientation. The author interviewed the visually impaired people and she also observed the way they read the city in real. The practical part of the thesis focuses on the Prague city centre.

Media education and digital literacy of blind high school students
Fraiová, Anna ; Wolák, Radim (advisor) ; Šťastná, Lucie (referee)
The paper addresses issues of media education in blind high-school students, especially in the topical context of digital media. The theoretical part devotes to problems of education of visually impaired persons. Next, concern the subsumption of media education as a cross- sectional subject into Czech primary and high-schools education. This part is also concerned with specific digital media and extensive opportunities of its utilization for visually impaired persons. In the experimental part of the paper, discrete components of digital literacy of sightless high-school students are analysed. The method of focused (semi-structured) interviews was selected. Interviews were executed with ten visually impaired high-school students and subsequently analysed with the help of qualitative content analysis. The aim of the paper is to give a notice on dependence of blind people to digital media and its specifics and, in this conjunction, emphasise the importance of media education.

Influence of light touch on postural balance of persons with visual impairment
Součková, Zuzana ; Čakrt, Ondřej (advisor) ; Levínská, Kateřina (referee)
The aim of the diploma thesis is to evaluate the influence of the sensory adaptation on postural balance of persons between 10 - 20 years old. The measurement of postural balance on stabilometric desc without visual control in postural situations in different difficulty with and without light touch. For this study 10 blind probands and 10 probands without visual impairment are tested. We expect that blind ones will show better results in all of tested COP parameters in all postural situations than control group because of sensory adaptation. Keywords postural stability, static balance, visual impairment, blindness, sensory adaptation

The theoretical part describes problems, which these people struggle with, including specialized organisations helping visually handicapped people. The thesis covers search for kitchen realised in our area. It continues with elaborate specification of individual parts of a kitchen and with last trends. The practical part describes own solution for a purblind and blind person created for a concrete room. There are specified materials, fitting and technology used for that.
