Abstract :
The ageing population increases the prevalence of impairments, such as visual impairment. Earlier studies have indicated that acceptance issues for assistive technological and non-technological assistive tools for visually impaired people exist. This study helps to understand acceptance of navigation assistance by visually impaired people, and also aims to validate UTAUT2 method in context of special group of consumers.
