Research for Individual Project

In order to know more about vision impairment, I would like to start with defining "visual impairment".

Then I have jotted some key points of this article.

Before reading this article, I thought visually impairment means someone who cannot see anything from any distance, but people who haven't lost their sight completely are actually also included.

As I have to create some products which make their daily lives more convenient, I have to know more about braille language.

I took a bit time to figure out how to read the braille numbers. I found that they would put "#" in front of the number when it is applied on lift buttons. However, I am not sure whether it is the same in other situation. I am going to do more researches on Braille language, especially numbers. As I am going to design products like wallets and watches, so it is compulsory to know the Braille numbers.
