Abstract
  • IoT intelligence can help ease daily tasks with the use of intelligent environments where it combines human interaction and IoT technology. The IoT has a great context-sensitive delivery feature in supporting and focusing on the use of technology in increasingly sophisticated education. Being born with a disability or getting a disability impairs daily tasks and provides additional challenges in continuing education. This challenge is highly dependent on the type of disability which may be either a physical disability or a mental disability. People with Disabilities are people who have physical and/or mental disorders, which can interfere with or are obstacles and barriers for them to perform activities normally. Such disabilities can come physically, mentally as well as both. Disorders are problems with body function or structure, activity restrictions are difficulties faced by individuals in performing tasks or actions, while barriers to engagement are problems experienced by individuals in engaging in life situations. high to pursue education in various domains. To address this, assistive devices that integrate IoT technology are growing rapidly especially for students with visual impairments. After that, the exploration of IoT applications and assistive devices in education continues. The advancement of IoT is used in various ways to develop current technologies in many areas of technology. Efforts to improve the well-being of learning and teaching for the disabled based on the use of tools to help the disabled are very useful. Many assisted technologies available in the market to accommodate each of these groups have the same opportunity in all aspects of life and livelihood of the disabled, especially students in the market at a very cheap price and easily available. In addition, it can also attract students with disabilities to carry out daily work activities and smooth learning as possible. For this reason, IoT-assisted technology should be able to help visually impaired and blind students to continue their education comfortably.
