“…The development of an electronic multisensory tool that detects holes or obstacles combined with ultrasonic sensing, so that the presence of obstacles can be distinguished from holes, where the test results are users can receive and use the device properly (Jubril & Samuel, 2021). The development of an application prototype implemented for the Nokia 5800 touch screen phone with the Symbian series 60 operating system provides an effective approach to introduce students to pathfinding in the school environment (Liimatainen et al, 2012). The development of the INSTIBLIND tool to reduce rain noise which consists of four parts in the form of ultrasonic sensors, microcontrollers (arduino), sticks, and earphones and batteries as suppliers of electrical energy, the category is very useful for the visually impaired (Milati, 2019).…”

The development of increasingly sophisticated technology is accompanied by the discovery of new assistive devices that should be accessible to all people, including the blind in order to maintain or improve functions so as to improve welfare. This study uses a literature review method with descriptive analysis by analyzing 20 articles. The purpose of this research is to examine more related to assistive technology for the blind in navigating indoors and outdoors including buildings and the accessibility of public services. The literature search was carried out through an electronic search for publications from ERIC, Researchgate, Spingerlink, Sage, Science Direct, Google Scholar and IEEE Xplore. The results of the study describe the use of various assistive technologies for the visually impaired related to navigation in spaces or buildings and even the wider environment as well as public services that are commonly accessed by the public. Furthermore, it is related to the existence of a brief description of the assistive technology developed and the benefits of the results of the development for users.

The purpose of the conducted research was the development of mobile accessibility design guidelines focused on the needs of older users. In order to achieve that purpose, the current sets of accessibility guidelines were analyzed and compared. Also, the set of guidelines that provides better support to implement and/or increase mobile accessibility was identified: the set developed by W3C. Subsequently, the current sets of accessibility guidelines were unified as a preamble to the development of a standard, which is out of the reach of this thesis. Next, an experiment was designed, it included the conducting of usability tests, whose results allowed the development of mobile accessibility design guidelines. Finally, it is important to highlight that a new methodology to develop mobile accessibility guidelines was created.
