Assistive Technology Solution for Visually Impaired/Low Vision Students for Their Schooling

Abstract

Nowadays, visually impaired students face many challenges during their schooling. Due to their low vision, they are unable to compete with others to their full potential. In certain situations where visual attention is necessary, such as chemistry lab practicals, reading notices on notice boards, and detecting hurdles in their path, these students encounter significant difficulties. Therefore, our intention is to assist students with visual impairments or low vision in their schooling through the use of assistive technology. Assistive technology refers to any device, software, or equipment that helps individuals overcome their challenges. This report aims to discuss the development of assistive devices that will serve as effective solutions for visually impaired students.
