Abstract
According to the characteristics and needs of the visually impaired, an innovative design method for visually impaired groups with barrier-free products under the guidance of modern interactive design concepts is proposed to address barriers and problems when interacting with the products, and to create interactive products for visually impaired people with barrier-free products.
The study investigated and analyzed the characteristics and needs of typical visually-impaired people in daily life, studied current market conditions and problems of barrier-free products, developed a visually-impaired barrier-free product design under interactive design concepts. The barrier-free products for the visually impaired should be guided by the interactive design concept and interact innovative design from the perspectives of touch, hearing, taste and smell.
