Zusammenfassung
With aging demographics and a large population of visually impaired individuals already, there is an increasing need for inclusive design solutions. This contribution aims to address the challenges individuals with visual impairments and older adults face navigating indoor environments. Through iterative user research and by including different perspectives and expertise, requirements were collected and analyzed. Based on these, possible design solutions for a guidance system that ensures high accessibility were developed. The proposed design solutions will leverage advanced technologies such as indoor positioning systems, tactile interfaces and audio cues to provide real-time navigation assistance tailored to the specific needs of users with visual impairments and older adults. With this the project aims to empower individuals with visual impairments and older adults to navigate indoor environments with confidence and independence, thereby promoting social inclusion and improving overall well-being.
