A Fall 2018 DLab Case Study
The users for this group are individuals who are blind or visually impaired. Prior to this Design Lab experience, the team had zero knowledge of this community. The team discovered grocery shopping was a common issue amongst their end users and the group dove right into gathering as much information as possible about this specific need.
The team met with the Idaho Commission for the Blind and Visually Impaired (ICBVI), holding a meeting with ICBVI students and staff. The team decided they wanted to take on the challenge of making a more inclusive shopping experience for individuals who are blind and visually impaired. The team came to the following How Might We question: How might we make the Boise Co-op shopping experience more convenient for people who are blind or visually impaired? The team worked to create a braille map for blind and visually impaired shoppers as a solution to this problem.
Design Team: Hunter R., Nick B., and Berkeley M.
