The Tag application was developed to improve accessibility and interaction with points of interest (POI) in the Mudia spaces, using Near Field Communication (NFC) technology. This technology allows short-range wireless communication between compatible devices, such as smartphones and NFC tags embedded in signs or information panels. Unlike QR codes, which require visual alignment for scanning, NFC tags work through simple contact, making them particularly useful for blind or visually impaired users.
The main feature of the Tag App is its ability to offer an intuitive and accessible experience for all users. Points of interest are equipped with NFC tags that contain digital data and are also marked in Braille. Blind users can easily locate these points thanks to the Braille relief, place their mobile device on the tag, and immediately receive audio content that describes the POI in detail.
This mode of interaction offers numerous advantages over traditional QR codes: no visual action is needed to access the information, making the process much more accessible for people with visual disabilities. Additionally, the application can provide rich and engaging audio descriptions, significantly enhancing the visitor experience and providing context and history more effectively and personally.
Therefore, the Tag NFC App proves to be an essential tool for making culture and art more accessible, eliminating physical and sensory barriers and promoting an inclusive experience for all users. This innovative approach not only improves access to information but also enriches visitor engagement, offering a new dimension to cultural and historical visits.
