The challenge
Creating Usable Access
Independence isn't something that you should be fighting for, it should be a basic right. Unfortunately, the society that we live in now does not prioritise this.
Having lived with a disabled person for all my life, I have observed how simple day to day tasks can become unnecessarily difficult. These challenges are mainly driven by a lack of foresight and empathy while creating products.
This led to this research about using technology to enable disabled people to lead a much more active and independent lifestyle.
My overarching goals for this project are to:
1. Understand the challenges users with low vision face while navigating
2. Create solutions using technology as an enabler
3. Raise awareness about the importance of a barrier free environment.
