“…The development of an audio-tactile map will support the development of a cognitive route which in the trial results significantly better performance on spatial tasks . Development of three-dimensional (3D) tactile maps for orientation and mobility (O&M) training provided to visually impaired persons improves comprehension, memory, and walking along unfamiliar routes in comparison to the effect of verbal explanation alone (Papadopoulos et al, 2015).The development of HEADLOCK is designed for optical head mounted displays, such as Google Glass where the qualitative results show the design of wearable assistive devices for visually impaired users (Fiannaca et al, 2014).…”

The development of increasingly sophisticated technology is accompanied by the discovery of new assistive devices that should be accessible to all people, including the blind in order to maintain or improve functions so as to improve welfare. This study uses a literature review method with descriptive analysis by analyzing 20 articles. The purpose of this research is to examine more related to assistive technology for the blind in navigating indoors and outdoors including buildings and the accessibility of public services. The literature search was carried out through an electronic search for publications from ERIC, Researchgate, Spingerlink, Sage, Science Direct, Google Scholar and IEEE Xplore. The results of the study describe the use of various assistive technologies for the visually impaired related to navigation in spaces or buildings and even the wider environment as well as public services that are commonly accessed by the public. Furthermore, it is related to the existence of a brief description of the assistive technology developed and the benefits of the results of the development for users.

Improvements in technology and navigation tools are leading to more affordable and effective solutions to assist individuals with visual impairments. The progress made in navigation technology has the potential to increase inclusivity for the visually impaired in education, social, and workforce settings. After conducting a thorough review of the literature, we have identified key issues and concluded that collaboration among healthcare professionals, caregivers, programmers, engineers, and policymakers is essential for successfully developing navigation projects for the visually impaired. This study highlights different advances and relevant topics in the development of location-based applications for individuals with visual impairments. Our paper involved an extensive search of eight journal databases spanning from 1993 to 2021. We screened 4550 titles, analyzed 560 abstracts, and ultimately reviewed 35 full-text papers, resulting in the examination of 20 papers. Our findings indicate that the advancement of navigation technology can positively affect the quality of life of visually impaired individuals, particularly through assistive technology, mobile applications, and web services. Dot Waker, Nearby Explorer, Get There, and Google Maps are the most commonly used navigation systems by visually impaired individuals. Overall, our research suggests that continued development in navigation-assisted applications can significantly benefit the visually impaired community.

Tujuan penelitian ini ialah untuk mengetahui pengaruh inovasi bola bersuara terhadap kemampuan orientasi dan mobilitas dalam pembelajaran pendidikan jasmani bagi siswa tunanetra. Metode penelitian menggunakan one group pre-posttest. Partisipan dalam penelitian ini yaitu sebanyak 6 siswa low vision terdiri atas 3 laki-laki dan 3 perempuan, dengan rentang usia 8-10 tahun. Analisis data menggunakan uji-t. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa inovasi media bola bersuara memiliki pengaruh yang signifikan sebesar 2,05 (α=0.05) terhadap kemampuan orientasi dan mobilitas siswa tunanetra. Simpulan inovasi media bola bersuara membantu meningkatkan kemampuan orientasi dan mobilitas dalam pembelajaran pendidikan jasmani bagi siswa tunanetra. Inovasi media bola bersuara ini dapat menjadi salah satu media alternative bagi guru pendidikan jasmani dalam memberikan pembelajaran khususnya pembelajaran yang menggunakan media bola bagi siswa dengan tunanetra.
