摘要

The benefits of involving persons intended to use a product or service early in the design process is increasingly acknowledged. This text provides inspiration and practical suggestions for anyone interested in designing for and with persons with visual impairments. We focus on co-design, but many of the adaptations and materials presented can also be used in more traditional design activities, such as usability testing. The text rests on an inclusive mindset. In other words, we prefer to expand and enhance existing methods regarding who is involved, and how to provide means for participation to wider target groups, rather than how to create “special” methods for “special” users. We introduce basic concepts, provide practical examples and discuss activities and materials, inclusive design and accessibility as well as the importance of the context of use.
