| description | People with visual impairment face difficulties in accessing computer. They
need a specific devices or assistive technology that enables them to access computer.
There are many assistive technologies that had been introduced mostly at First World
coimtry. For example, assistive technology for visual impairment and sighted impaired
people such as computer screen readers, screen magnifiers. Braille displays, voice input
software. Braille embossers or Braille printer, stand alone products and so on. This kind
of assistive technology have given such a big contribution for visual impairment and
sighted impaired people. It is because, through this assistive technology, they can
experience a growth of technology like normal people and thus can increase their
computer literacy. So this thesis purposely will identify the characteristics of computer
equipments used and also the visually impaired people acceptance towards these
technologies. For this thesis, the scope for the research will focus on the Malaysian
Association for The Blind (MAB). Questionnaire distributed and interview sessions
conducted will produce significant results and findings towards achieving the objectives
of this thesis. |
