“…During shopping, audio messages are given to PVI about shopping items stored in the database using TTS. Shopping preparation makes it easy for users to buy from a list, but it has some limitations: it assumes that the shopper already knows what they wish to buy on their trip [8], and this is not always the case. Also, shopping may take a long time.…”

“…Earlier studies [8,11,48] assume that shopping list preparation is a useful activity, as most PVI prefer to follow a predetermined list. It is necessary to help PVI prepare shopping lists and store them in a database.…”

“…People with Visual Impairment (PVI) have limitations in the function of their visual system. These limitations prevent them from seeing and doing daily activities, such as navigation or shopping [3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. For example, PVI have difficulties in reading product labels during shopping; they thus miss important information about the content of their food and sometimes make bad choices.…”

People with visual impairment face various difficulties in their daily activities in comparison to people without visual impairment. Much research has been done to find smart solutions using mobile devices to help people with visual impairment perform tasks like shopping. One of the most challenging tasks for researchers is to create a solution that offers a good quality of life for people with visual impairment. It is also essential to develop solutions that encourage people with visual impairment to participate in social life. This study provides an overview of the various technologies that have been developed in recent years to assist people with visual impairment in shopping tasks. It gives an introduction to the latest direction in this area, which will help developers to incorporate such solutions into their research.

“…In order to grasp the factors that can improve the quality of life in the social adjustment process for people with visual impairments, research is needed to clearly identify the problems they are experiencing and what exists in the coping process [8]. If these specific intervention goals are properly met, the quality of life of people with visual impairments could be significantly improved.…”

There is a lack of research based on in-depth theoretical and scientific knowledge to understand the visually impaired, and there has been little effort in the application of strategies for early intervention to minimize the risk these people might encounter during development. This study used semi-structured interviews from eight persons with visual impairments who had various experiences of coping process. Three coping processes based on life experiences were identified: (1) self-awareness and adaptation process: “self-awareness of disability” and “adaptation to disability and the environment”; (2) facing the circumstance process: “the exposure to concealment and abuse,” “the suppression of potential,” “denial and abandonment by family,” “poverty and disability,” “expansion of thinking,” and “opportunities of special participation”; and (3) the positive reinforcement process: “self-disclosure and jump-starting life,” “maintain satisfaction and achievement,” and “socioeconomic independence.” These findings expand the understanding of the factors common to the coping process experienced by individuals with visual impairment and highlight the importance of psychological support, family, education, and social support.

Therefore, it is important to develop solutions to help PVI improve their mobility, protect them from injury, and encourage them to interact socially [6].…”

People with visual impairment face a lot of difficulties in their daily activities. Several researches have been conducted to find smart solutions using mobile devices to help people with visual impairment perform tasks. This paper focuses on using assistive technology to help people with visual impairment in indoor navigation using markers. The essential steps of a typical navigation system are identifying the current location, finding the shortest path to the destination, and navigating safely to the destination using navigation feedback. In this research, the authors proposed a system to help people with visual impairment in indoor navigation using markers. In this system, the authors have re-defined the identification step to a classification problem and used convolutional neural networks to identify markers. The main contributions of this paper are: (1) A system to help people with visual impairment in indoor navigation using markers. (2) Comparing QR codes with Aruco markers to prove that Aruco markers work better. (3) Convolutional neural network has been implemented and simplified to detect the candidate markers in challenging conditions and improve response time. (4) Comparing the proposed model with another model to prove that it gives better accuracy for training and testing.
