July-November 2006, Undergraduate Academic Project, Bangalore, India
Project Synopsis: A self-initiated design research, to understand the problems and challenges of the visually impaired while studying mathematics. The project, deals with gaps that exist for a visually impaired person while studying mathematics and using the tools and the techniques involved. It involved interactions with the visually impaired students, professionals and institutions that support the cause of visual impairment. A daylong workshop was designed and moderated with the visually impaired and sighted individuals, as participants. The workshop analyzed the limitations of various tools used by the visually impaired, and eventually led to a collaborative ideating of concepts and the generation of solutions. A final deliverable was printed in the form of a book that compiled my research and analysis.
