Review on Smart Solutions for People with Visual Impairment

摘要

Nowadays, over a billion people are estimated to be living with disabilities. The lack of support services make them overly dependent on their families and prevent them from being socially included. A good solution is to use Mobile Assistive Technologies (MAT) to perform tasks in everyday lives, but one of the most important and challenging tasks is to create a solution which offers the assistance and support they need to achieve a good quality of life and allows them to participate in social life. This paper reviews researches within the field of MATs to help people with visual impairment in their daily activities like navigation and shopping.
