Exploratory Design Research for the Blind and Visually Impaired Visitor in Exhibitions

摘要

Modern museums have adopted various ways for the blind and visually impaired visitor to reach exhibitions and services. However, many requirements remain unfulfilled. This study aimed to give effective recommendations on design practice to cater for the blind and visually impaired visitor in museums. To this end, a Focus Group interview of this demographic was carried out to collect the latest information as a way of understanding their demands and user experience for exhibition design. By analysing and interpreting the interview, this study obtained exhibition design suggestions that are more suitable for blind and visually impaired visitors in Taiwan.
