Wearables for persons with blindness and low vision: form factor matters.

WHAT IT FOUND

This commentary argues that body-mounted backpacks may overcome stability and comfort limitations of handheld and head-mounted assistive wearables for blindness, but it reports no clinical trial data or patient outcomes to support this.

What this paper is

This is a theoretical commentary discussing the design limitations of handheld and head-mounted assistive wearables for people with blindness and low vision, and proposing body-mounted backpacks as a potential alternative. It reports no methods, no participants, and no outcomes, so there is no evidence here to change your practice on.
