“…Based on it, control signals are used by a haptic actuator aiming to correct the athlete's trajectory. • Tracking Algorithm: an algorithm based on a tracking topology composed by coordinating nodes and anchor nodes of a wireless sensor network aiming to locate the athletes and to track their trajectories employing triangulation techniques [28]. • Haptic Actuator: a pair of vibe board is positioned each one on the left and right arms of the athletes.…”

The paper reports an experimental study that was carried out in Manaus (Amazonas, Brazil) with the participation of eight visually impaired athletes on 100 m sprint Paralympic races. A trajectory correction system was used, based on an accelerometer and a gyroscope for motion detection, an algorithm to track the athlete's trajectories and a haptic actuator for the interaction with the athletes. The experimental results show the relevance in the use of this type of systems in Paralympic 100 m races for visually impaired athletes, mainly with the purpose of increasing their autonomy by mimicking their guides.
