Abstract(s)
Neste trabalho pretende-se analisar se existe uma preocupação por parte dos
invisuais e deficientes visuais em relação à cor em geral e também à cor do
vestuário, e se faz sentido criar um objecto têxtil que possibilite uma rápida e fácil
forma de identificação das cores do vestuário para esse grupo de indivíduos.
A cor é algo indissociável do aparelho visual pois a percepção da cor é realizada
apenas pelos órgãos da visão mas isso não significa que os indivíduos com baixa visão
ou sem visão não tenham preocupações com a cor e, neste caso particular, com a cor
do vestuário.
Os indivíduos privados de percepcionar a cor através do órgão da visão habitualmente
recorrem a ajudas externas para conseguir conjugar as cores no acto da compra e
posteriormente no acto de vestir.
Assim, este projecto visa dar um contributo a todos os indivíduos que, com maior ou
menor grau de acuidade visual para que possam ser autónomos no acto da compra e
no acto de vestir peças e acessórios de vestuário.
Para tal, cria-se uma etiqueta em tecido agregada à peça de vestuário, com o nome
da cor escrito em Braille a colocar de forma permanente na peça de vestuário num
local acessível e que permita de uma forma rápida a identificação da cor. Na mesma
etiqueta podem constar um símbolo que fará parte de um conjunto de símbolos
criados propositadamente, para permitir o reconhecimento da cor dessa peça aos
invisuais que não conhecem o alfabeto Braille.
Para o desenvolvimento deste estudo foram percorridas várias etapas:
A etapa inicial consistiu em elaborar um inquérito para perceber se existia ou não
uma preocupação com a cor por parte dos indivíduos com deficiência visual e/ou com
baixa visão, e em segundo lugar para perceber se, para os indivíduos da amostra o
produto têxtil a desenvolver seria um veículo de simplificação na identificação da cor
do vestuário. Uma segunda etapa teve como finalidade a análise dos dados resultantes das
respostas ao inquérito e a elaboração de mapas e gráficos para ajudar a apurar
resultados obtidos através do mesmo.
A terceira etapa teve como objectivo a elaboração de um protótipo táctil, em forma
de etiqueta, agregado à peça de vestuário de forma permanente, resistente às
lavagens e ao uso.
Na quarta e última etapa realizou-se a experimentação do protótipo tendo-se
verificado que a etiqueta é um óptimo veículo para a identificação da cor, pois esta
permite que qualquer invisual conhecedor do alfabeto Braille, consiga identificar as
cores das peças de vestuário.
In this work, it is intended to analyze if there is a concern of blind and vision handicapped persons respecting to colour in general and to garment colours in particular and if there are reasons to develop a textile object to allow a quick and easy way to identify garment colours for that group of individuals. Colour is something inseparable from the visual system as its perception is only made through the vision organs, but this does not mean that individuals having low vision or no vision at all do not have concerns respecting to colour and, in this particular case, to garment colours. Individuals deprived from perceiving colours through the vision organs often resort to external assistance in order to help them to combine colours when purchasing garments and later during wearing. Thus, this project intends to give a contribution to all individuals, having a higher or lower degree of visual acuity, to become autonomous when buying garments and accessories and during wearing. For this, a fabric label attached to the garment piece is developed, having the name of garment colour embossed in Braille alphabet and being permanently placed into the garment at an accessible location, to quickly enable the identification of garment colours. In the same label a symbol taken from a set created for this purpose could also be included to allow identification of garment colour by blind people that cannot understand Braille alphabet. To carry out this study several steps had been gone through: The first step comprised the development of an inquiry to realize if there is or not a concern respecting colour by vision handicapped and/or low vision individuals and, in a second place, to understand if the textile product to be developed would be a simplifying way to identify garment colours by the inquired individuals. A second step aimed the analysis of resulting data gathered by the inquiry and the treatment of this data in order to help understanding the results. The objective of the third step was the design of a textile prototype, in the form of a label permanently attached to the garment, having adequate laundering and wearing fastness properties. The fourth and last step comprised prototype experimentation, being observed that the label is a good way for colour identification, since this allows identifying colours of garments to any vision handicapped person assuming they know Braille alphabet.
