Abstract
Starší lidé s těžkým poškozením zraku často žijí v ústavních zařízeních poskytujících specializovanou péči. Tato skupina uživatelů má specifické potřeby, schopnosti a preference, především z hlediska orientace v prostoru, interakce s technologiemi a volnočasových aktivit. V této práci jsem navrhla pipeline pro rekonstrukci budovy z obrazů, které splňují požadavky patentu „Trojrozměrný model budovy primárně pro zrakově postižené starší dospělé“ pro vytvoření taktilní 3D mapy pro zrakově postižené starší dospělé. Pipeline byla navržena, implementována a testována s cílovou skupinou uživatelů pomocí metody User-centered design. Výsledky hodnocení ukazují, že je stále co zlepšovat. Dále jsem navrhla a vytiskla vnější část budovy domova Palata. Tištěný 3D model byl poté přilepen na dřevěný model vytvořený vedoucím mé práce v rámci implementace výše uvedeného patentu. Vyhodnotila jsem model, který jsem vytvořila, s nevidomým odborníkem. Odorník sdílil spoustu cenných poznatků, jak model vylepšit.
Older adults with severe vision impairments often live in residential care institutions that provide specialized care. This user group has specific needs, abilities, and preferences, primarily from the perspective of orientation in space, interaction with technologies, and free-time activities. In this thesis I have proposed a pipeline for reconstruction of a building from images that satisfies the requirements of the patent 'Three-dimensional model of a building primarily for visually impaired older adults' for creation of a tactile 3D map for the visually impaired older adults. The pipeline was designed, implemented and tested with a target user group using the User-centered design method. The results of the evaluation show that there's still a lot to be improved. Furthermore, I have designed and 3D printed an exterior part of the Home Palata building. The printed 3D model was then glued to a wooden model created by Ing. Miroslav Macík, Ph.D. as part of the implementation of the patent mentioned before. I have evaluated the model that I have created with a visually impaired expert. He has shared a lot of valuable insights to improve the model.
