To help the visually impaired navigate the 'VITAR' guitar, Roh, Baek, and Shin endowed the musical instrument with an unusual and asymmetrical shape, emphasizing the parts where it should be held. Complementing its unique shape is a set of embossed lines carved along the main body, acting as additional guiding points when handling the device. The most notable lines are found at the centre of the guitar, recalling the row of strings in traditional guitars. Additionally, the guitar doesn't have to be tuned, or even the ropes don't need to be changed, as the rope is substituted by a button, making it easier to play with less strength.

People with mid-visual disabilities become more sensitive to auditory stimulation as an alternative to vision and prefer musical activities.

Many visually impaired people prefer stringed instruments, and VITAR is a solution for those who want to play the guitar comfortably for hobby activities.

According to the designer trio, people with visual disabilities become more sensitive to auditory stimulation as an alternative to vision, encouraging them to opt for musical activities. Incorporating a Braille system can help them play the music they want by creating an intuitive and manageable experience without stripping the fun from it. That’s where ‘Vitar’ comes in — a simple yet groundbreaking re-imagination of the guitar fingerboard that makes music much more accessible.
