The interaction between the visually impaired user and the assistive technology

Journal Title: Romanian Journal of Human - Computer Interaction - Year 2010, Vol 3, Issue 1

Abstract

The interaction between the visually impaired user and the assistive technology offered the possibility to structure a new professional and educational approach, very much in conformity with the present social system's requirements. Nonetheless, we must take into consideration also the personality traits involved in this interaction and the changes that occur consequently to this interaction. In this article, we wanted to present a synthesis of the research already undertaken at a national level in the past few years and also to present the main conclusions from a technical, occupational and educational perspective, along with future research paths in the field of the interaction between the visually impaired user and the assistive technologies, which impose themselves on medium and long term in our country.
