Technological advancement in general is providing better and cheaper solutions toassist the visually impaired (VI) community. Although information communicationtechnology (ICT) has great potential to support the inclusion of VI people ineducational, social and workforce settings, there are far fewer ICT projects forVI people compared to other projects. This systematic literature review providesour findings on the existing state of ICT projects and describes outstandingissues in ICT support of VI people. Based on our findings, we suggest increasedcollaboration among healthcare professionals, caregivers, programmers,engineers, as well as policy makers; and adoption of policies in future ICTprojects for VI people. A wide search of seven journal databases found arelevant cross-section of articles that were published between 2010 and 2015.Software Zotero Standalone and EndNote were used to screen and maintainmetadata. After the initial screening of 6993 titles, 683 abstracts werescrutinised, from which 55 full text articles were selected for final review. Weanalysed and synthesised 37 articles. Our findings show the progress, awareness,interest, and issues in ICT integration to improve the quality of life for VIpeople. Three emergent topics for VI people are (a) assistive technology, (b)e-accessibility, and (c) virtual interfaces. Our findings suggest that ICT-aidedapplications can bring positive changes for VI people. We advance several issuesthat should be addressed and further developed, collaboratively, to spreadawareness and invoke new policies aimed to improve the quality of life of VIpeople.
