Architectural lighting design for visually impaired people in public places
My presentation mainly provides solutions to the problem that many visually impaired people cannot easily and independently go to public spaces by solutions includes: architecture lighting design, space refinement, signage system design, and guidelines refinement. In the current situation, none of the existing guidelines is considered enough for visually impaired people to navigate themselves in complicated public spaces. My presentation aims to fill up this empty field and help visually impaired people independently go to public spaces.
