ASSISTIVE I.T. FOR VISUALLY IMPAIRED PEOPLE
According to an international survey performed by the World Health Organization, it was estimated that the number of visually impaired people in the year 2002 rose to about 161 million (2.6% of the world’s population). Therefore, a large number of people are suffering from a visual handicap which impedes them from normally accomplishing their daily activities. As a result, there is need for an assistive device based on an alternative modality, that can complement or replace sight by another sense -auditory, haptic (tactile or kinesthetic) [13], or a combination of both- and that can offer a means to deal with blindness.
