A System of Sharing Life & Compensating Cognition, Designed For visually Impaired Children

Design innovation points

I See is a product system designed for visually impaired children to share their lives and assist in cognition, with the following main innovations. 1. Non-visual photography: Based on the habit of wearing sunglasses in daily life of visually impaired people, I See gives sunglasses the function of taking pictures and supporting visually impaired children to record images and sounds of scenes and things they are interested in anytime and anywhere. 2. Touchable photo album: Visually impaired children mainly perceive the world through touch and hearing, I See's touchable photo album reproduces images physically through a silicone matrix, combined with sound to help restore the scene of the photo. It also provides a topic of conversation between visually impaired children and their parents, deepening the visually impaired child's understanding of things as they communicate. 3. Personalised magnetic decorations: To meet children's needs for fun and personalisation, the frame of the smart glasses is equipped with a series of removable magnetic decorations, differentiated by material and shape, so that children can personalise them independently.

Potential and expandability

For individuals and families: The product encourages visually impaired children to explore realistic scenes and things, share with their parents through photos and audio recorded by themselves, recall their feelings in communication and touch, and help visually impaired children gradually enrich their perception of things from touch, hearing and parents' descriptions. For the market: visually impaired children lack the visual perception and the means to share their lives, which in part leads to a lack of awareness and social barriers for visually impaired children. For ordinary people, cameras and photo albums are essential tools for recording and sharing their lives. However, there is a lack of products in the market to address this pain point, from cameras to photo albums, which are not well suited to the needs of visually impaired children. For society: helping visually impaired people to enrich their knowledge of things during their childhood will help them to build a sound knowled
