Designing in the Dark
IDEO workshop @ TAIK/ Helsinki

Can we create a kit for designers that design for the blind? How could we convey the experience of being blind?

Our team (3) created a kit that limits the sensory experience of a familiar journey. Our observations regarded the ability of visually impared people to keep track of their orientation through spaces. The idea was to create, for sighted people, a sense of movement through space primarily through sound and limited visual information. Our team discovered that limited vision does not remove the beauty n the world, but simply provides a different sense of it.
