“…This study used Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method based on the guidelines as presented by Kitchenham [24]. The main goal of SLR was to discover usability dimensions that used in the literature and provide ideas that helped to identify usability dimensions for mobile applications for the visually impaired.…”

The usability of the mobile applications is the most important factor in developing, so the key to develop successful mobile applications is usability, especially for users have specific needs such as visually impaired. However, developers do not focus on visually impaired users. Moreover, there are limited studies and usability evaluation models for mobile applications for visually impaired so developers use just a modified usability evaluation methods which are not enough and useful to evaluate mobile applications for visually impaired, or they use general usability evaluation models. Therefore, using these methods or models is difficult for evaluator and not useful for visually impaired users. This study conducts Systematic Literature Review (SLR) to identify usability dimensions that help mobile applications developers and evaluators to evaluate mobile application for users which have moderate and severe visual impairment. The result shows that, six dimensions that have a significant impact on moderate and severe visually impaired users' satisfaction, who use mobile applications. These dimensions namely efficiency, effectiveness, satisfaction, errors, accessibility and understandability.

“…Existem diferentes sistemas interativos para apoiar pessoas cegas a explorar espaços abertos ou fechados, familiares ou desconhecidos, e a se locomover por esses com certa segurança. Há sistema que fornecem descrições verbais sobre o ambiente, sem que o usuário esteja nesse [de Borba Campos et al 2015] ou que fornecem informações no momento em que o usuário se encontra em um determinado espaço por meio de GPS [Morad 2010]. Mas, diferente de muitos desses, o sistema aqui apresentado tem como propósito servir para a construção do espaço, a partir da relação da pessoa com os objetos.…”

The orientation and mobility skills are built since our birth. When we interact with an environment, we learn to place ourselves in space and guide us in relation to objects. However, many people with visual disabilities face spatial orientation problems in navigation in unfamiliar environments. This article describes an intelligent system that aims to capture recognize and transmit information about objects that are in the same space as its user. We believe that this system can help blind people to identify objects and understand spaces with more independence and autonomy.
