EyeLid is the bachelor thesis project which deals with the concept of a wearable assistive device for improving independent movement and orientation of the severely visually impaired in public space. I sought to gain insight into the lives of the visually impaired and to understand the challenges that their disability brings. The aim was to outline possible solutions for a product that would assess dangerous obstacles and alert users to them. The proposed navigation aid should not replace the classic white cane, but complement it in a suitable way. The final design is based on user testing with the target group.
