  Recent studies have focused on facilitating perception and outdoor navigation
for people with blindness or some form of vision loss. However, a significant
portion of these studies is centered around treatment and vision
rehabilitation, leaving some immediate needs, such as interaction with the
surrounding objects or recognizing colors and fine patterns without tactile
feedback. This study targets such needs and delivers a straightforward
communication method using a wearable, unobtrusive device with the environment.
We initially discuss the advantages and limitations of related works to draw
out the best-fitting design concepts. Then, we introduce the potential for
emerging technologies such as radio-frequency identification. We present the
design details and the experimental results of an assistive glove to allow
people with vision disabilities to interact with the environment more
efficiently. Based on the collected data from 17 blind-folded healthy
participants, the implemented system's success rate in identifying objects was
about 96.32%. Overall, 70% of the users found the device very satisfactory.
