RECALL - Location Based Services for Excluded Communities

RECALL is a European Transversal project developing location based services in assistive technologies to allow people with learning disabili-ties and sensory and physical impairments to plan and independently carry out their route to work and community activities, helping them to overcome physical and psychological barriers to independent travel and community inclusion. The Route Mate application is being designed for the Android System and will be available in English, Bulgarian, Greek and Romanian lan-guages. Three modes of Route Mate have been implemented and tested which allow users to plan and practice their routes to different community opportuni-ties. The Plan mode promotes User Created Content and allows RECALL to be personalized to users' needs. The Usage mode offers self directed learning op-portunities by allowing users to practice the routes they have created in the Plan Mode. Challenge Mode is based on games based learning to reinforce route learning in an engaging way.
