“…al and Mattheiss et al highlighted the importance of rapid prototyping in the execution of iterations [21, 25]. Adebiyi et al and Feiz et al emphasised the effectiveness of the “Wizard of Oz” technique in achieving development improvements [43, 48]. This technique consists of a tactic used for low fidelity prototyping in which the participant receives instructions in order to perform tasks while testing a prototype, and a human simulates the behaviour of the completed AT.…”

“…This was generally achieved either because they took care to obtain larger samples under previously defined selection criteria or because they selected more appropriate methods (qualitative or mixed) with respect to the objective pursued, or due to both reasons [24-25, 27, 47]. It is also pertinent to highlight the importance of having included stakeholders in these studies [23-25, 27, 40-41, 47-48].…”

“…However, it can be argued that a better compliance to the first principle ( the design is based upon an explicit understanding of users, tasks, and environments ) increased the probability of applying the subsequent four principles. The fact that some studies integrated participatory design approaches into the methodology boosted the involvement of participants in the whole process [23, 25, 27–28, 41, 48]. The participation of both potential users and stakeholders in the early design phases and throughout the process, as well as the type of instruments applied to collect information, allowed the design to be “driven and refined by user-centred evaluation”.…”

Despite scientific and technological advances in the field of assistive technology (AT) for people with visual impairment (VI), technological designs are frequently based on a poor understanding of the physical and social context of use, resulting in devices that are less than optimal for their intended beneficiaries. To resolve this situation, user-centred approaches in the development process of AT have been widely adopted in recent years. However, there is a lack of systematization on the application of this approach. This systematic review registered in PROSPERO (CRD42022307466), assesses the application of the ISO 9241-210 human-centred design principles in allegedly “user-centred designed” AT developments for persons with VI. The results point to a wide variation of the depth of understanding of user needs, a poor characterization of the application of the User Centred Design (UCD) approach in the initial design phases or in the early prototyping, and a vague description of user feedback and device iteration. Among the principles set out in ISO 9241-210, the application of 5.6: "the design team includes multidisciplinary skills and perspectives" is the one for which the least evidence is found. The results show there is not enough evidence to fully assess the impact of UCD in 1. promoting innovation regarding AT products and practices, and 2. Judging if AT produced following such standards is leading to better user access, wellbeing outcomes and satisfaction. To address this gap it is necessary to, first, generate better implementation of UCD in AT development and second, to strengthen evidence regarding the implementation and outcomes of using UCD for AT. To better engage with the realities of persons with VI, we propose capacity building across development teams regarding UCD, its principles and components; better planning for UCD implementation; and cross-fertilization across engineering disciplines and social and clinical science.
