assistive technologies for the blind  

Definition

  • Assistive technologies are devices or software that assist the accomplishment of tasks by a blind or visually impaired person, usually providing feedback via sound, touch, or optimal use of remaining vision. Technology is only one tool in the rehabilitation process, but for some tasks it can be an important one. [Source: Encyclopedia of Perception; Assistive Technologies for the Blind]
