DescriptionThis Master thesis aims to transform the city of Zurich into a more accessible place for the visually impaired. The transformation is accomplished through the implementation of a visually impaired friendly, city tour app. The app works in combination with interactive, 3D printed replicas of landmarks and views of the Old Town of Zurich. This combination creates an immersive, sensory experience of the city that can be enjoyed by the sighted and visually impaired alike.
But why does the city of Zurich need to become more accessible for the visually impaired? By opening up the sights of cities to everyone the project encourages a more inclusive society. A society that is aware and understanding of what it means to be visually impaired.
