Shopping for the visually impaired
BRIEF:
"Without literal references, how do you portray the 5 human senses" (touch, hear, smell, see and taste).
To not be able to see the items you want to purchase would be proven as a challenge for someone who is visually impaired. They will find shopping in a supermarket impossible to accomplish independently. As a result, they rely on a third party to help them do the shopping.

SOLUTION:
As a solution I created & developed a new system which could enable a visually impaired person to orientate within an internal environment and to help them to be more independent with their shopping.
This includes:
- Tactile map
- Section dividers
- A RFID code ring scanner
