Introduction: Despite the plethora of sensor-based assistive technology solutions, there is still no widespread acceptance and adoption by people who are blind or have low vision (i.e., visually impaired). Many reasons prevent reducing abandonment levels with a prominent one being lack focus on dimension training, which, from our standpoint, integral to technologies. To prove importance we extend validate new version Unified Theory Acceptance Use Technology (UTAUT) model incorporating...
