Strategy Analytics – Current design trends for smart home devices which rely heavily on visual feedback are digitally excluding blind and visually impaired people from a sophisticated smart home experience they would reap most benefit from. The constant need to adapt appliances to create tactile feedback on slick flat digital screens is preventing the sight loss community from using smart home technologies and appliances to their full potential.
Research conducted by Strategy Analytics explores the needs of people who are blind or visually impaired and their relationship with technology. A new series of reports from the User Experience Strategies service at Strategy Analytics, identifies key design implications with respect to user needs, technology use and pain-points for the sight loss community when using smart home technologies and appliances, smartphones, or while travelling.
