Low Vision With A Squint

Abstract

Low Vision accommodation technologies range from visors which use peripheral vision mapping to sensors, to software applications like vOICe, which when used with wearables or handhelds, convert a field of view from images to soundscapes. Similar accommodation paraphernalia, like smart walking sticks and human assistance based services, like Google Lookout. 1 In this paper, the author compares these diverse technologies, proving peripheral vision visors are the most efficient and useful accommodations, and a combination of these technologies is available to an end user. The resulting information is made available through VUI to a low vision patient.. Keywords Low Vision , visor, peripheral vision, soundscape, vOICe
