Abstract
Assistive technologies are characterized by resources, methods, and strategies that favor the autonomy and inclusion of people with disabilities. There has been much interest in thinking about assistive technologies in the school environment to enable students with disabilities to attend the classroom environment. However, there is also the need to think about assistive technologies that make students with disabilities have an equivalent teaching experience when in digital environments. This chapter aims to identify possibilities for implementing assistive technologies for blind students in digital exhibitions. The Presence in Absence exhibition featured a team of 23 people from different areas of knowledge and four blind consultants. They created a virtual art exhibition that aims to use assistive technologies to enable an inclusive cultural activity. As a hypothesis, it is believed that the expansion of studies in this area is a way of sharing alternatives so that people with disabilities can participate in cultural school activities that involve visits to online museums.
