Abstract	Assistive technology for the visually impaired and blind people is a research field that is gaining increasing prominence owing to an explosion of new interest in it from disparate disciplines. The field has a very relevant social impact on our ever-increasing aging and blind populations. While many excellent state-of-the-art accounts have been written till date, all of them are subjective in nature. We performed an objective statistical survey across the various sub-disciplines in the field and applied information analysis and network-theory techniques to answer several key questions relevant to the field. To analyze the field we compiled an extensive database of scientific research publications over the last two decades. We inferred interesting patterns and statistics concerning the main research areas and underlying themes, identified leading journals and conferences, captured growth patterns of the research field; identified active research communities and present our interpretation of trends in the field for the near future. Our results reveal that there has been a sustained growth in this field; from less than 50 publications per year in the mid 1990s to close to 400 scientific publications per year in 2014. Assistive Technology for persons with visually impairments is expected to grow at a swift pace and impact the lives of individuals and the elderly in ways not previously possible.
