Abstract
The conductor of a symphony orchestra has, among several functions, the responsibility of guaranteeing the “harmony” of the group's performance. For this, the conductor uses gestures to provide the tempo, dynamics and give feedback to the musicians. In this context, a visually impaired musician is unable to receive information from the conductor, causing him to be
unable or, at least, to face great difficulty in integrating a symphony orchestra. This limitation can also end up harming the formation of a visually impaired academic in the Music Course, for example, since the orchestra, among its various functions, works as a teaching, research and
extension project at Federal University of Santa Maria (UFSM). Aiming at the inclusion of visually impaired musician(s), both in the academic and social spheres, it is proposed the development on equipment that allows the exchange of information between conductor and musician. To this end, we intend to develop two compact devices using microcontrollers: a data transmitter and a receiver/interpreter/actuator, both connected through a wireless.
