Popis:	This paper presents a classified set of proposals of Ubiquitous Computing Applications aimed for the wellbeing of the visually impaired, and the initial design analysis and conceptualization process that led to them. Domestic applications for the visually impaired have been conceptualized and evaluated, with insight from participatory design approaches. Thirty two total proposals resulted from brainstorm sessions between the designer and a focus group of blind end users. The proposals were then ranked by a broader focus group of visually impaired end users. Top ranked scenaria are further evaluated in order to identify strengths and weaknesses and make further improvements. Such classified scenarios can provide valuable input towards a ubiquitous computing system that is designed from its very conception based on the needs of the visually impaired.
