“…Thus, ensuring they can access accessible educational resources is essential in promoting their educational inclusion and success [1,2]. Traditionally, education for individuals with visual impairments has relied on adapted materials and specialized methodologies [3]. However, the expanding field of Extended Reality (XR) offers a paradigm shift, where immersive and interactive experiences can bridge the gap between conventional learning and the limitations imposed by visual impairments.…”

Education for those who are visually impaired usually relies on modified materials and unique teaching methods. Nonetheless, the advent of Extended Reality marks a considerable change by providing immersive and interactive experiences that can surpass the challenges encountered in conventional learning due to visual impairments. This study aims to systematically review and analyse the existing literature on the use of extended realities in the education of individuals with visual impairment. This systematic review followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews (PRISMA) statement as a formal systematic review guideline for data collection to ensure the quality and replicability of the revision process. Data were obtained from research studies over the period 2013–2023. The analysis included a total of 71 papers from Science Direct, ERIC, JSTOR, Taylor & Francis Online, and Scopus databases. The results show that Europe had the most publications on these topics during the past decade and that most papers were focused on higher education. Additionally, virtual reality was the most investigated topic. The findings indicate that extended reality has the potential to promote inclusion for the visually impaired in educational settings and provide them with enhanced educational experiences in many educational disciplines.

“…These educational materials need to be developed and be accessible to all people with visual impairments (Carvalho et al, 2014, 2015; Cruz et al, 2015). In recent years, audio description has been used frequently to make visual elements more accessible to people with visual impairments (Hutchinson & Eardley, 2020; Ludíková & Finková, 2012; Romero-Fresco & Fryer, 2013; Walczak, 2017). In recent years, audio description has been widely used in movies (Romero-Fresco & Fryer, 2013), television series (Güven, 2018; Schmeidler & Kirchner, 2001), museums (Hutchinson & Eardley, 2020), and training of individuals who are visually impaired (Ibáñez Moreno et al, 2016; Souza & Ferreira, 2021; Wall Emerson & Anderson, 2018).…”

Introduction: Breast cancer is a significant health problem affecting the health of women globally. Breast self-examination is a procedure applied for the early detection of breast cancer. Given the barriers that women with visual impairments face to access health care and health education, there is a need to develop materials for breast self-examination training as a skills-based practice for this group. This study evaluated the effect of a training video with an audio description on the breast self-examination of women who were visually impaired. Methods: The universe of this quasi-experimental study comprised women who were visually impaired ( N = 70) who were registered members of the Manisa Altinokta Blind Association in Turkey. The women who participated in the study volunteered and met the selection criteria ( n = 60). They were divided into two groups by lot. The audio description group listened to a breast self-examination training video with an audio description ( n = 30). The control group listened to the training video accompanied by typical sound, without audio description ( n = 30). Before and after a training video, all women performed breast self-examination on a female mannequin torso. The skills of women in breast self-examination were evaluated using a checklist by a midwife who was non-researcher. Results: The skills differed significantly between the two groups after the video training ( p < 0.05). The audio description group correctly performed most of the skills required for breast self-examination. None of the women in the groups were able to apply steps for such self-examination before the training. Discussion: A breast self-examination training video with audio description can improve the self-examination skills of women with visual impairments. Implications for Practitioners: Women with visual impairments benefit from watching a breast self-examination training video with an audio description before performing self-examinations. Training videos with audio descriptions should, therefore, be prepared for the health education of individuals who are visually impaired.
