VISI - ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGY
Adapter for children with low vision, which helps in the identification of hygiene products.
Visi is an adapter for children with low vision, which helps in the identification of personal hygiene products, providing self-confidence and safety. With some color, relief or enlargement adaptations, everything is possible for them. Inclusion starts at home, so providing conditions to learn and take action on your own is vital.
About 217 million people in the world have low vision. Although there are already some resources, blind people and people with low vision still find it difficult to find adaptations in packaging. The information, which identifies each one, is not presented clearly. In this context, the main problem is the lack of confidence in the child's autonomy, parents are afraid to let them bathe alone, even at an appropriate age.
The form is the materialization of the shampoo and conditioner function. With different textures and contrasting colors. Made of latex, it is flexible, resistant to moisture and allows the final value to be affordable and sustainable.
