Abstract
This project is aimed to gain an overview of visually impaired
people’s daily food experience and eating behaviors and to
develop a design concept and product regarding the conclusion
of the research.

The project is composed of three phases. In the first part a general
description and expected goal of the project is presented. The
following section is research, including two methods: Literature
review and Interview. From the Literature review, the factors
which have an impact on visually impaired people when they

This project is aimed to gain an overview of visually impaired
people’s daily food experience and eating behaviors and to
develop a design concept and product regarding the conclusion
of the research.

The project is composed of three phases. In the first part a general

following section is research, including two methods: Literature
review and Interview. From the Literature review, the factors
which have an impact on visually impaired people when they
do shopping, prepare meals, and eat out have been discussed.
The interviews have been conducted with three participants via
internet, to investigate and identify obstacles they are facing in the
areas of meal preparation and eating. In the final phase, entitled”
design process”, three main aspects are presented: design brief,
idea exploration, concept generation, and final 3D models.

The final design is presented in illustration, rendering, and 3D-print
prototypes.

Finally, a set of beer cups has been designed for visually impaired
people to help them to get a better drinking experience. The
research has limitations related to the size of samples and lack of
close observation, and at the same time, it is impossible to organize
user tests because of the outbreak of COVID-19. The outcome
could end up with more possibilities if more interviews and user tests
were conducted. (Less)
