With technological advances, globalization, the need for social inclusion highlighted the importance of developing new assistive technologies aimed to identify and create an arsenal of resources and actions that provides and meets the diverse types of disabilities and their mobilities giving the same the right to an independent life without restrictions. O This paper presents the development of the project, which was designed with the goal of applying practically the theoretical knowledge acquired throughout the course to date. The study focuses on the adaptation of a common electronic equipment global positioning Bengal whose function is to enhance existing technology and facilitate the movement and mobility of visually impaired with greater safety and greater cost benefit over existing alternatives. This work is based on national standards that establish criteria and requirements for subsequent construction and testing. The work includes literature review, technical design aspects, as well as product development, materials, methods, research, and other process. The paper seeks to show that it is possible to apply methodologies and ideals of the project from the initial stages through to completion.
