The Design Perception of Visually Impaired People
Co-Presented: Hong Kong Art & Design Community
Speaker: Chan Ka Hing, Cheung Kai Fu
Design often comes from problem-solving. Through the conversation with Fu, we can know more about how Fu, a visually impaired person, solves the problems and inconveniences of daily life like taking a bus, paying cash, watching TV, and playing soccer through his own inventions and designs. The spirit of "getting inspired" is worth learning from both visually impaired and sighted people.
Speaker's Introduction
Chan Ka Hing, designer & visual artist, founding member of Hong Kong Art & Design Community. Believing “Design is not just a work of production and services, it is also a mode of thinking and an attitude of living.”, and participating actively in a social design project and promoting design critique recently.
