Abstract: The development of increasingly sophisticated technology is accompanied by the 

discovery of new assistive devices that should be accessible to all people, including the 

blind in order to maintain or improve functions so as to improve welfare. This study uses a 

literature review method with descriptive analysis by analyzing 20 articles. The purpose of 

this research is to examine more related to assistive technology for the blind in navigating 

indoors and outdoors including buildings and the accessibility of public services. The 

literature search was carried out through an electronic search for publications from ERIC, 

Researchgate, Spingerlink, Sage, Science Direct, Google Scholar and IEEE Xplore. The 

results of the study describe the use of various assistive technologies for the visually 

impaired related to navigation in spaces or buildings and even the wider environment as 

well as public services that are commonly accessed by the public. Furthermore, it is related 

to the existence of a brief description of the assistive technology developed and the benefits 

of the results of the development for users. 

 

Keywords: assistive technology, mobility orientation, blind 

 

INTRODUCTION  

The development of human life in this era cannot be separated from one word, namely 

"technology". Technology is a means or system that can provide convenience and comfort for 

all humans. Technological developments cover various fields in human life so as to produce 

various technologies so that they can be used as tools to achieve human goals in order to 

participate in education, work, and family and community life. Several kinds of technology are 

often used today, such as computers, laptops, smartphones, and other electronic machines. 

Furthermore, assistive technology or assistive technology refers to assistive products and 

related systems and services developed for people to maintain or improve functioning so as to 

improve well-being. Among the people who generally need assistive technology are the 

elderly, the disabled and people living with chronic conditions. Further for persons with 

disabilities, assistive technology includes any item, equipment or product that is used to 

enhance and maintain functional abilities. Assistive technologies including low vision devices, 

hearing aids, and augmentative and alternative communication systems, walking frames, 

wheelchairs and prosthetic limbs, Further for persons with disabilities, assistive technology 

includes any item, equipment or product that is used to enhance and maintain functional 

abilities. Assistive technologies including low vision devices, hearing aids, and augmentative 

and alternative communication systems, walking frames, wheelchairs and prosthetic limbs, 

Further for persons with disabilities, assistive technology includes any item, equipment or 

product that is used to enhance and maintain functional abilities. Assistive technologies 

including low vision devices, hearing aids, and augmentative and alternative communication 

systems, walking frames, wheelchairs and prosthetic limbs (Tangcharoensathien V,

Witthayapipopsakul W, Viriyathorn S, 2018). Without assistive technology, persons with 

disabilities and the elderly and others in need are often discriminated against, isolated, and 

confined to poverty, and the burden of morbidity and disability increases (WHO, 2018) . 

Based on statistical data submitted by the WHO, it shows that there are about 253 

million people with visual impairments, as well as 36 million total blindness, and 217 million 

have average to severe visual impairments (WHO, 2017). The various backgrounds of the 

blind persons seem to be to responsible. Some people have congenital blindness, which has 

existed in them since birth. Then, the others occurred when they were still teenagers or even 

adults. These events were triggered by a variety of circumstances, including illness, accidents, 

reading habits, and blindness, which is an underlying cause (Jendriadi, et al., 2018). Vision is 

a very important system for humans to understand the outside world because 85% of 

information can be obtained through the sense of sight (Suharmini, 2009), where this is very 

influential on cognitive and affects the progress of spatial perception (Gori, M, et al, 2016). A 

visual impairment is an abnormality in the vision that makes it necessary to employ other 

senses to comprehend an item (Pahlawaty & Aprilia, 2022). In addition, the impact of vision 

loss may be implied by limitations in independent mobility (Lamoureux et al., 2004). 

Orientation and mobility abilities is the ability of individuals to move from one place to the 

destination safely (Yosfan Azwadi, 2004; Rahayu & Sunardi, 2018). Furthermore, in order to 

get to their destination safely they need tools. Fulfillment of assistive devices for persons with 

disabilities in Indonesia in accordance with Law no. 16 of 2008 CHAPTER 3 Article 5 has 

rights including the right to accessibility, public services, and to live independently and be 

involved in the community. The number of blind people is increasing, assistive technology / 

assistive devices have become a big demand over the last few years (Dakopoulus, D and NG 

Bourbakis, 2009). Orientation and mobility aids are currently common and often used such as 

guide dogs, watchdogs / companions, and canes, of which canes are the most popular and 

frequently used tools for blind people (Batman, 2018). 

Likewise in Indonesia, sticks are the main choice used to assist orientation and mobility, 

according to Mukarami in Milati (2019), sticks have functions including: (1) can reduce the 

assistance of alert people, (2) as a tool used to detect direct obstacles such as detecting stairs 

and determining a place/location, (3) for protection for the blind, so that skills in using a cane 

can make the blind person able to move from one place to the destination independently, 

fluently, and more easily understand the environment. However, the use of sticks also has 

drawbacks, namely the information provided regarding the position of obstacles or obstacles is 

still very limited. Based on the findings from various disciplines, various devices have been 

developed that help to complete activities in daily life. Not only that, many assistive 

technology findings have been developed for the blind to access public services such as 

terminals, subways, shopping areas and others. This is in accordance with the Regulation of 

the Minister of Public Works Number: 30 / PRT / M / 2006 related to the Technical 

Guidelines for Facilities and Accessibility in Buildings and the Environment which contains 

the provision of facilities and accessibility related to infrastructure in buildings and their 

environment. Based on the existing regulations, it can be interpreted that although the 

orientation and mobility abilities of the blind are good, they still need instructions in the form 

of clues or instructions in the form of visual, auditory, kinesthetic, tactile stimuli, aroma, 

temperature, which serve to facilitate the user (Raharja, 2010). Therefore, based on the 

background that has been raised regarding assistive devices for the blind in orientation and 

mobility, after studying and analyzing in depth this article aims to examine more related to 

assistive technology for the blind in navigating indoors and outdoors including buildings. and 

accessibility of public services sourced from relevant articles between 2011 and 2022. 

 

 



Nerry, et al, Literature Review: Orientation and Mobility… 39 

METHOD  
A literature review research design that examines and critically examines existing knowledge, 

ideas, or findings in academically oriented literature, and formulates theoretical and 

methodological contributions covering certain topics (Cooper, 2010). According to Creswell 

(2008) literature review is an activity to summarize articles in journals and/or proceedings, 

books, and other documents that are relevant to the chosen topic. Literature review includes 

research results published from 2011 to 2021. The process in writing literature review articles 

according to Ramdhani, Amin & Ramdhani. (2014) revealed that there are four stages in 

making a literature review, namely (1) choosing a topic or theme to be reviewed, (2) finding 

and selecting suitable/relevant articles according to the topic of discussion, (3) carry out 

analysis and synthesis of literature and (4) organize review writing. So from this theory, in 

writing this article in the first stage, namely searching for journals in the database through 

electronic search for ERIC publications, Resnearch Gate, Spinger Link, Sage, Science Direct, 

Google, Google Scholar. The search uses the keywords blind, assistive technology, orientation 

and mobility in English and Indonesian. The search results are 35 articles that can be accessed 

in full text in pdf and MSword formats. The second stage selects articles according to specific 

criteria according to the criteria, namely (1) types of assistive technology for orientation and 

mobility inside and outside the environment, (2) assistive technology to access existing public 

facilities such as public transportation and shopping centers.Stage 3 synthesis of the 20 

selected articles were grouped into three categories, namely (1) assistive technology for the 

blind to orient and navigate indoors, (2) assistive technology for the blind to navigate outdoors 

or buildings, (3) assistive technology for blind people to access public services (public 

transportation and shopping centers). The next stage is descriptive analysis by doingregular 

parsing of the data that has been obtained, then given an understanding and explanation so that 

it can be understood. Data collection contains criteria according to the quality of the articles 

and their relevance to topics related to assistive technology for orientation and mobility for the 

blind. So from the discovery of the articleas many as 27 articles were used as references for 

writing articles as many as 20 articles and 7 articles were not used.

Discussion(s) 

Assistive technology for orientation and navigation in the room 

The development of video games with audio and haptic interfaces with stimulation of 

orientation and mobility skills in visually impaired persons through the use of virtual 

environments in school-age blind students shows that playing and practicing with AHM 

improves the development of O&M skills in blind learners (Sánchez & Oyarzún, 2011). 
Development of object discovery prototype system with camera-based network and match-

based recognition using SURF and SIFT point of interest detectors and descriptors (Yi et al., 

2013). Development of the EyeCane assistive device for navigating down corridors, virtual-

EyeCane identical stimuli to those rendered from EyeCane in the real world has the potential 

to increase the efficiency of navigation through new virtual-learned real-world environments 

(Maidenbaum et all., 2013). The development of an audio-tactile map will support the 

development of a cognitive route which in the trial results significantly better performance on 



Nerry, et al, Literature Review: Orientation and Mobility… 41 

spatial tasks (Koukourikos & Papadopoulos, 2015). Development of three-dimensional (3D) 

tactile maps for orientation and mobility (O&M) training provided to visually impaired 

persons improves comprehension, memory, and walking along unfamiliar routes in 

comparison to the effect of verbal explanation alone (Papadopoulos et al., 2015).The 

development of HEADLOCK is designed for optical head mounted displays, such as Google 

Glass where the qualitative results show the design of wearable assistive devices for visually 

impaired users (Fiannaca et al., 2014). 

 

Assistive technology for navigating outdoors/buildings 

The development of EBAT technology with detection and avoidance of obstacles located in 

the path to be traversed demonstrated a significant reduction in the number of accidental 

contacts in the travel path and resulted in clear benefits by reducing participants' 

insecurities,(Abreu et al., 2020). A portable, anywhere-accessible map application to mark 

obstacles in the outdoor environment such as fallen trees, mud, possible wildlife, and holes 

(Long et al., 2016). The development of an electronic multisensory tool that detects holes or 

obstacles combined with ultrasonic sensing, so that the presence of obstacles can be 

distinguished from holes, where the test results are users can receive and use the device 

properly (Jubril & Samuel, 2021). The development of an application prototype implemented 

for the Nokia 5800 touch screen phone with the Symbian series 60 operating system provides 

an effective approach to introduce students to pathfinding in the school environment 

(Liimatainen et al., 2012). The development of the INSTIBLIND tool to reduce rain noise 

which consists of four parts in the form of ultrasonic sensors, microcontrollers (arduino), 

sticks, and earphones and batteries as suppliers of electrical energy, the category is very useful 

for the visually impaired (Milati, 2019). The development of SmartCane by installing a robotic 

ball at the end of the stick and how to calibrate and control it automatically which the results 

of prototype trials can help the visually impaired navigate (Branig &Engel, 2019). The 

development of the Blind Navigation System using Arduino and 1sheeld is a system that aims 

to improve the blind people's access to the environment, especially in Ghana where the trial 

results obtained from the final test ensure the safety and speed of mobility (APrey et al., 

2022). The development of a new wearable navigation system for blind walkers by combining 

a global positioning system (GPS) for the user's outdoor localization and tactile-foot 

stimulation and experimental results show users are able to recognize with high accuracy the 

tactile feedback given to their feet (Velázquez etal., 2018). Development of a prototype mobile 

application jointly developed with the City Hall of Viana do Castelo, a city in northern 

Portugal, targeting people with permanent or temporary limited mobility and intending to 

show them information about taxi points, parking lots and reference points in the city (Paiva, 

2020). Development of a tele-guidance navigation system for VIPs assisted by verbal 

instructions of remote caregivers receiving video from cameras brought by VIP (Chaudary et 

al., 2017). 

 

Assistive technology forAccessing public services 

The ability to access public services is something that the visually impaired can also do 

independently without relying on an alert companion. Through the development of tactile 

maps and braille bus guidebooks where flexible lesson plans for teaching bus travel will add to 

the experience for students that will be more likely to apply the O&M skills they learn at home 

or at school with the goals already achieved (Besden, 2019). Another development that is still 

related to public transportation access is the AudioTransantiago application to adjust and move 

on a trip that is carried out using the bus public transportation system in Santiago de Chile 

where the test results of participants show a high level of skill in using the buttons on a pocket 

PC and audio is received well by users (Sánchez & Oyarzún, 2011).The development of other 



42 Journal of ICSAR; Volume  7 , Number  1, January 2023, 37 - 43 

assistive technology in the form of access to other public services that can be taken is 

shopping centers. The environment setting is equipped with an adequate RFID sensor with a 

Bluetooth connection to the user's smartphone, the system can find the user and send 

instructions pointing to the desired destination. Important features that users can access about 

a store, service or available space(Duarte et al., 2014). Almost the same as other application 

developments that do not use Bluetooth channels, but this Blindshopping application uses a 

mobile-based QR code (López-De-Ipiña et al., 2011). 

 

CONCLUSSION 

Based on the results of the research review analysis above, it can be concluded that many 

technologies have been developed following the times. The development of assistive 

technology for the visually impaired is proven to provide benefits for users, including assisting 

in daily activities such as orientation indoors, as a guide to navigate indoors and outdoors, to 

access public facilities such as shopping centers and public transportation. So from these 

results found 6 articles on the development of assistive technology products that are useful for 

the blind to orient and navigate indoors, 10 articles on the development of assistive technology 

products that are useful for the blind to navigate outdoors or buildings, 4 development of 

assistive technology products for the blind to access public services (transportation and 

shopping centers). Seeing the development of increasingly sophisticated science and 

technology, it is very possible for innovations to develop in assistive technology th at can help 

the blind to be oriented and move in the environment independently and safely.
