MediaTurDownloader: An accessible tourist assistant application

Nowadays it can be seen that the average length of holiday trips (in number of days) tends to decrease, so tourists have less time to spend and therefore they need to plan their holydays better. In order to do this, there are several software tools for the organization before the trip, and for scoring it at the end. However, there are very few software tools that help tourists during their stay. During the trip, tourists need to locate the places of interest for them, according to their preferences, and close to them in a quick and comfortable way, for example through the use of mobile devices for geolocation. It is also important that the proposed places and the way to show this information have been adapted for people with disabilities. The Laboratory of Information Technologies and Multimedia is developing the MediaTurDownloader project, an accessible application for geographic location via mobile phones that allows tourists to know at any moment the situation where they are and the closer tourist attractions available that they can see or visit and keep track of the touristic route done so far
