通用视域下多感官通道的视障产品设计研究

目的根据视障者视觉信息摄入量受限的特点,提出通用视域下的视障产品创新设计方法和设计原则,为视障群体的产品设计提供理论依据。方法调研分析视障群体的生理、心理及动作特征,从通道转换、多感官通道交互两方面提出通用视域下的产品设计方法,提出多通道信息传达一致、设计信息简明集中、容错性要求等设计原则。结果以视障群体收发力训练器和视障群体糖尿病注射针为设计载体,完成产品设计案例。结论视障群体对于产品的认知通道从绝对权重的视觉通道转换为触、嗅、听、体等多感官通道融合,通过关注非视觉通道传达信息的方式拓展设计语言,唤醒其他感官出发的新鲜设计符号,构筑正常人和视障群体通用的生活、工作、健康、娱乐等场景。

Multi-Sensory Product Design for the Visually Impaired under the General Vision

The work aims to put forward the innovative design method and design principle of the visually impaired products under the general vision, according to the restricted visual information intake of the visually impaired, so as to provide the theoretical basis for the product design of the visually impaired group. The physiological, psychological and motion characteristics of the visually impaired group were investigated and analyzed, and the product design methods under the general vision were put forward from two aspects: channel transformation and multi-sensory channel interaction. The design principles such as consistent multi-channel information transmission, concise and intensive design information and fault tolerance requirements were proposed. The product design case was completed, with the manipulation training apparatus and diabetes needle of the visually impaired group as the design carrier. The cognitive channel of the visually impaired group for products is changed from the visual channel with absolute weight to the multi-sensory channel integrated with touch, smell, hearing and body. The design language is expanded by focusing on the way that non-visual channels convey information, and the fresh design symbols of other senses are awakened to construct common scenes of life, work, health and entertainment for normal people and the visually impaired groups.
