CoordenaÃÃo de AperfeÃoamento de Pessoal de NÃvel Superior / It is estimated that, in Brazil, about 3.46% of population presents difficulty to see and 1.6% is blind. The lack of adequate inclusive tools imposes many restrictions on the life of these people, in other words, non-accessible hardware and software create a negative impact on academic, professional and personal life. In this context, the present thesis aims to develop a an accessible system for digital inclusion of blind users, since the existing systems present many disadvantages as low quality or cost that make impossible the daily use. The system is composed by a multiplatform Java front-end. In addition, the system is free to reach the maximum numbers of users as possible and to be modified and improved by the community. The developed solution was tested, presenting a medium intelligibility rate of 79% and naturalness classified as "reasonable" by a group of 20 users. In the end, the system proved to be feasible, filling an existing gap on Brazilian software marked, allowing greater inclusion of blind users to digital resources. / Estima-se que, no Brasil, cerca de 3,46% da populaÃÃo apresenta grande limitaÃÃo de visÃo e 1,6% seja totalmente incapaz de enxergar. A falta de meios de inclusÃo adequados impÃe uma sÃrie de restriÃÃes na vida destas pessoas, em outras palavras, ferramentas de hardware e software nÃo acessÃveis geram impacto negativo na vida acadÃmica, pessoal e profissional. Dentro desse contexto, a presente DissertaÃÃo tem por objetivo principal desenvolver um sistema para inclusÃo digital de deficientes visuais. O sistema à composto por um front-end multiplataforma para o sintetizador de voz MBROLA e um conjunto programas acessÃveis, que inclui editor de texto, cliente de chat, lente de aumento virtual, entre outros, desenvolvido em Java a fim gerar um software multiplataforma. AlÃm disso, o sistema à gratuito e livre para que possa atingir o maior nÃmero de usuÃrios possÃvel e ser modificado e aprimorado pela comunidade. A soluÃÃo desenvolvida foi testada em campo, apresentando Ãndice de inteligibilidade mÃdio de 79% e com naturalidade classificada como razoÃvel em um grupo de 20 usuÃrios. Por fim, o sistema se mostrou viÃvel, vindo a preencher uma lacuna existente no mercado brasileiro de softwares, permitindo maior inclusÃo dos deficientes visuais aos meios digitais.

Today's mobile development resides in the two main operating systems Android and iOS. It is popular to develop mobile applications individually for each respective platform, referred to as native development. To reduce additional costs, cross-platform solutions have emerged that enable shared development for both platforms. Kotlin Multiplatform Mobile (KMM) is a relatively unexplored cross-platform tool developed by JetBrains. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the performance of iOS applications developed in KMM compared to native Swift. We compare the two approaches for developing iOS apps by compiling a benchmark suite and measuring the performance metrics execution time, memory consumption, and CPU usage. Our benchmark suite is a collection of 7 benchmarks consisting of high-level functionalities networking and database management, as well as low-level computational tasks from the Computer Language Benchmarks Game (CLBG) suite. For the studied benchmarks, the results indicate that KMM generally achieves faster execution times, as higher memory consumption and CPU usage. but with a trade-off overhead in higher memory consumption and CPU usage. We have found KMM to achieve up to 2,7 seconds faster execution time, consume up to 390MB more memory, and up to 30% more CPU than with native Swift. libraries achieve faster execution times, but with a trade-off overhead in increased memory consumption and CPU usage. Besides, our results highlight correlations between the garbage collection cycles of KMM with profiling patterns of memory consumption and CPU usage. the specific benchmark implementations analyzed, and the device used to benchmark them. studies are therefore needed to further generalize our conclusions. / Den nutida mobilutvecklingen domineras av de två huvudsakliga operativsystemen Android och iOS. Det är populärt att utveckla mobilapplikationer separat för varje plattform, så kallad native utveckling. För att minska kostnader relaterade till native utveckling har plattformsoberoende lösningar tillkommit, som istället möjliggör delad utveckling för båda plattformarna. Kotlin Multiplatform Mobile (KMM) är ett relativt outforskat plattformsoberoende verktyg utvecklat av JetBrains. Syftet med denna studie är att utvärdera prestandan hos iOS-applikationer utvecklade i KMM jämfört med native Swift. Vi jämför de två tillvägagångssätten för att utveckla iOS-appar genom att sammanställa en benchmark-svit och mäta prestandametrikerna exekveringstid, minnesanvändning och CPU-användning. Vår benchmark svit består av 7 benchmark-program som omfattar högnivåfunktionaliteter som nätverk- och databashantering, samt lågnivåfunktionaliteter med benchmark-algoritmer från Computer Language Benchmarks Game (CLBG)-sviten. För att exekvera benchmark-programmen och samla in prestandametriker har en applikation utvecklats och använts för att utföra våra experiment på en iOS-enhet. För de undersökta benchmark-programmen visar resultaten att KMM generellt uppnår snabbare exekveringstider, men med en kompromiss i form av ökad minnesanvändning och CPU-användning. Vi har observerat att KMM kan uppnå upp till 2,7 sekunder snabbare exekveringstid, förbruka upp till 390MB mer minne och upp till 30% mer CPU-användning jämfört med native Swift. Dessutom antyder våra resultat korrelationer mellan KMM Garbage Collection cykler och profileringsbeteendet i dess minnes- och CPU-användning.

By new narratives are understood the forms of storytelling arising from the current development of digital technology; and for multiplatform the variety of means by which the contents of these stories can travel. For this main objective is reached, two main hypotheses are formulated: 1) ARGs are stories for multiple platforms using code-breaking with playful and narrative functions; and 2) they are developed from an intense transtextuality guided by pop mythology that flourished during the twentieth century. Based on this starting point, this thesis will examine two ARGs, Uncertain Zone and Why So Serious?, in a way that it contributes to the hypothesis that Alternate Reality Games are a native narrative form of convergence culture founded on an extensive base of pop culture references. In the chapter dedicated to Uncertain Zone will be listed the various media used during the performance of the ARG, that together with interviews with the developers and testimonials from participants will weave a more descriptive overview of how alternate reality games are composed as multiplatform narratives. In addition, a brief discussion on the playful and narrative functions of the code-breaking in ARGs will be outlined. With Why So Serious? the analysis will focus on the intense transtextuality that alternate reality games establish to what will be called pop mythology in this dissertation and in the relationship between ARGs and market. Incidentally issues related to participatory culture will be raised throughout the text, but without further reflection, since, worth reiterating, the main goal of this thesis is the demonstration of a contemporary narrative form from some elements previously submitted, this form is the alternate reality game. / O principal objetivo da presente dissertação é apresentar o ARG (Alternate Reality Game) como uma nova narrativa para multiplataformas. Por nova narrativa, entendemse as formas de contar histórias decorrentes do desenvolvimento atual da tecnologia digital; e por multiplataforma os variados meios através dos quais os conteúdos dessas histórias podem trafegar. Para que esse objetivo principal seja atingido, duas hipóteses principais serão formuladas: 1) os ARGs são narrativas para múltiplas plataformas que utilizam a quebra de código com função lúdica e narrativa; e 2) são desenvolvidos a partir de uma intensa transtextualidade pautada pela mitologia pop que floresceu durante o século XX. Partindo desse ponto de partida, esta dissertação analisará dois ARGs, Zona Incerta e Why So Serious?, de modo a apresentar as características que corroboram a hipótese de que os Jogos de Realidade Alternada são uma forma narrativa nativa da cultura de convergência fundamentada sobre uma extensa base de referências à cultura pop. No capítulo dedicado ao Zona Incerta serão elencadas as diversas mídias utilizadas durante a realização do ARG, que em conjunto com entrevistas com os realizadores e depoimentos de participantes tecerão um panorama mais descritivo de como os Jogos de Realidade Alternada se compõem enquanto narrativas multiplataformas. Além disso, uma breve discussão sobre o caráter lúdico e narrativo da quebra de código nos ARGs será esboçada. Já com Why So Serious? as análises irão se focar na intensa transtextualidade que os Jogos de Realidade Alternada estabelecem com aquilo que nesta dissertação será chamada de mitologia pop e nas relações que os objetos mantêm com o mercado. Incidentalmente questões relacionadas à cultura participativa serão levantadas por todo o texto, porém sem um maior aprofundamento, uma vez que, vale reiterar, o objetivo principal desta dissertação será a demonstração de uma forma narrativa contemporânea a partir de alguns elementos previamente apresentados, essa forma são os Jogos de Realidade Alternada.
