“…This review on the potential of XR in educational assistive technology and inclusive education, particularly focusing on augmented reality, has unearthed significant insights. The research conducted by [16] illustrated how AR could serve as an effective assistive tool for colourblind individuals, enabling them to recognize objects and colours within controlled settings, although real-world application might present challenges. This underscores AR's role in fostering inclusivity within educational contexts.…”

“…Many of the limitations and challenges related to the use of XR technologies in VI education stem from the early stage of research and development [16,56]. Technological limitations, such as difficulties with object identification, accuracy, variations among users, and a lack of depth perception in XR systems, contribute to these challenges [16,56]. Gesture recognition accuracy, sound-recording limitations, and the lack of specific data analysis methods for these research data sources also need improvement [44,77,78].…”

Education for those who are visually impaired usually relies on modified materials and unique teaching methods. Nonetheless, the advent of Extended Reality marks a considerable change by providing immersive and interactive experiences that can surpass the challenges encountered in conventional learning due to visual impairments. This study aims to systematically review and analyse the existing literature on the use of extended realities in the education of individuals with visual impairment. This systematic review followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews (PRISMA) statement as a formal systematic review guideline for data collection to ensure the quality and replicability of the revision process. Data were obtained from research studies over the period 2013–2023. The analysis included a total of 71 papers from Science Direct, ERIC, JSTOR, Taylor & Francis Online, and Scopus databases. The results show that Europe had the most publications on these topics during the past decade and that most papers were focused on higher education. Additionally, virtual reality was the most investigated topic. The findings indicate that extended reality has the potential to promote inclusion for the visually impaired in educational settings and provide them with enhanced educational experiences in many educational disciplines.

“…This has already been studied in relation to anomalous colour vision proving the feasibility of new approaches. One such method provides information about the colour of objects in the form of sound (Dai et al, 2017) or labels (Ponce Gallegos et al, 2020) overlaid on the AR scene. These algorithms possibly oversimplify a disability, unintentionally removing other pertinent information and reducing the individual's agency.…”

Full accessibility to eXtended Reality Head-Mounted Displays (XR HMDs) includes a requirement for well-functioning eyes and visual system. Eye and vision problems—that affect visual skills and abilities to various degrees—are common and may prevent an individual from comfortably wearing and using XR HMDs. Yet, vision problems have gained little attention in the XR community, making it difficult to assess the degree of accessibility and how to increase inclusivity. This perspective article aims to highlight the need for understanding, assessing, and correcting common eye and vision problems to increase inclusivity—to help broaden a responsible uptake of XR HMDs. There is a need to apply an interdisciplinary, human-centered approach in research. Guidelines are given for conducting reproducible research to contribute to the development of more inclusive XR technologies, through consideration of the individual variations in human visual skills and abilities.
