Design And Research Of “Synesthesia” In Physical Fitness Products For Visually Impaired People

With the rapid development of The Times,the progress of science and technology and the rapid growth of social economy,the domestic product market is rich and diversified.The design subject focusing on the socially disadvantaged groups has become the focus of national and social attention.At present,the types of accessories suitable for the visually impaired cannot meet the diverse life needs of the visually impaired.Take the category of sports and fitness products as an example,sports are essential in the life of the visually impaired,but there are few products suitable for the visually impaired.Therefore,it is urgent to innovate and design sports and fitness products for the visually impaired.At present,China has the largest number of blind people in the world,with a large base and an increasing growth rate year by year.Due to the physical defects of the visually impaired,it is difficult for them to enjoy the fruits of social development and participate in social life equally as ordinary people.Based on the above situation,this paper focuses on improving the quality of life of visually impaired people and innovating the design of physical fitness products for visually impaired people.Due to the defects of vision,the visually impaired people have imperfect information acquisition and cognition of things,resulting in a lot of inconvenience in life.At the same time,the visually impaired people also have a strong demand for emotional care.From the perspective of synesthesia theory,this paper studies people’s five senses as the starting point,and uses synesthesia theory to explore the possibility and innovation of sports fitness product design for visually impaired people from the physiological and psychological aspects.The content of this paper is mainly composed of four parts: the first part,the social background,through the analysis of the social environment,to determine the subject research content has a high degree of social attention;The second part is user needs and research analysis.Based on the analysis of the physiological and psychological conditions of the visually impaired people,the paper conducts an interview survey on the visually impaired people to further determine the real needs of the visually impaired people for sports and fitness products.The third part,from the perspective of synesthesia theory,thought about the design of sports fitness products for the visually impaired,analyzed the current situation and shortcomings of the existing products,and looked for better innovation opportunities.The fourth part,based on the research analysis of user needs,summary design factors,put forward arguments and deepen the design strategy.The design practice of the subject takes archery as the entry point,takes traditional Chinese archery culture as the carrier of cultural background,studies the design ideas and shapes of bow products suitable for visually impaired people,and finally displays the design results.
