Abstract

This paper describes a model based on an ontology for labeling context-awareness scenarios where blind or visually impaired people interact with embedded objects through mobile devices equipped with NFC technology. The augmented environment allows users to receive information and services from the tags disseminated, meliorating their experiences. Although this labeling is specially indicated for blind or visually impaired people, anyone can interact with this environment, obtaining tailored services and information from the tags. The solution proposed has been tested in a real environment: the Baena Olive-Grove and Olive Oil Museum, receiving a good acceptance from the users.
