The Cane Game: An Educational Tool for Orientation and Mobility

Breaking through Barriers: A Systematic Review of Extended Reality in Education for the Visually Impaired

“…These approaches were found to improve engagement through gamification and their practical applications in real-world settings, but they cannot replace traditional O&M training entirely. Another example came from the works of [32,33]. They focused on advancing the concept of the white cane.…”

“…From audio AR and VR platforms to educational games and sensory-substitution devices, these tools offer unique opportunities to improve navigation skills, spatial perception, and overall independence for individuals with visual impairments. Further research and development in this field are needed to explore the full potential of these technologies and address any limitations [29,32].…”

“…When it comes to targeted research, VR game design must align gameplay with realworld skills and ensure that VR games enhance crucial daily living skills for individuals with visual impairments [32]. It is imperative to keep track of progress and personalise learning experiences by implementing monitoring systems and allowing for customised learning experiences [32]. Moreover, researchers should investigate in-home practice options and evaluate their effectiveness in various educational settings [32].…”

“…It is imperative to keep track of progress and personalise learning experiences by implementing monitoring systems and allowing for customised learning experiences [32]. Moreover, researchers should investigate in-home practice options and evaluate their effectiveness in various educational settings [32]. For locationbased games, cutting-edge tracking technologies like Bluetooth beacons and NFC tags can be utilised to create more interactive and captivating experiences [31].…”
