Abstract

Acknowledging the significant role of wearable devices in aiding the visually impaired, this study provides a comprehensive overview of design methods and theoretical frameworks specific to this demographic, aiming to guide future research and practical applications. The paper posits that integrating multi-channel sensory design strategies in the initial design stages can facilitate innovative human-computer interactions with low cognitive load and high efficiency. Furthermore, incorporating participatory design, inclusive design, and emotional design theories into the development of wearable devices for the visually impaired can enhance their human-centric nature, thereby improving acceptance and engagement among visually impaired users.
