Overview

Comprehensive review analyzes assistive technologies for visually impaired persons, highlighting usability and integration challenges.

Key Points

  • This review aims to analyze current assistive technologies for in-store shopping by visually impaired persons and their limitations.
  • Reviewed peer-reviewed literature published between 2003 and 2025 on assistive solutions for in-store shopping.
  • Classified systems based on technological approaches: tag-based, computer vision marker-based, computer vision non-marker-based, and hybrid solutions.
  • Evaluated systems against usability, interaction demands, infrastructural dependence, and validation with end users.
  • Current solutions support isolated parts of the shopping journey but struggle with effective integration.
  • Many systems depend on modified store infrastructure or reliable product databases, limiting their practicality.
  • Human-computer interaction factors like cognitive load and trust are critical for improving user adoption.
