The ExploraVist Clinic team developed a wearable device that will empower the visually impaired at an affordable price point. This device will improve accessibility by enabling users to read text, understand their surroundings and store personal notes while fostering independence and curiosity in the users’ daily lives. To achieve this goal, the ExploraVist Clinic team performed extensive user testing to ensure that the product is aligned with human-centered design principles.
