Singapore Institute of Technology

The Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT), in collaboration with Guide Dogs Singapore and University of Queensland Australia, pioneered a toolkit development project to empower Persons with Visual Impairment (PVI) on the how’s of navigating smartphones and mobile applications.

This initiative involved the creation of a Smartphone Training and Learning Support Resource Toolkit, with content identified through an experience-based approach and tailored to meet the real world needs of PVI users and refined to encourage widespread adoption by relevant agencies.

By merging academic research with practical application, SIT strove to enhance PVI’s digital inclusivity and equip PVIs with the necessary knowledge to reap the benefits and conveniences of the digital world.
