University Project. Contactless Kitchen Aid (survey) (self.Blind)
submitted by mammoth_venom
Hi, My name is Ben and I'm a 2nd year student at Winchester University studying Digital Media Development. For one of my projects I've decided to design and develop a contactless kitchen aid for the visually impaired in an attempt to decrease the number of kitchen accidents. I am trying to collect some information to help take my project forward. Below I have posted a survey link. I would be very grateful if you could spare a few minutes of your time to answer some of the questions and help me out. Thank you very much!

An interesting idea, but much of the rehabilitation training in the kitchen for someone with sight loss is often how to deal with things like knives and ovens safely. One common technique is sliding a knife underneath a cutting tray, so the blade isn't open. Or putting a dirty knife behind the faucet, so the blade is harder to accident come across until you intentionally reach behind it to wash (and then you can go more slowly).

Thank you, for all of your responses! They are all very useful to me for taking this project forward. Thanks again :)

Yeah, I think most blind people with a bit of logic can do pretty well. I have never had a kitchen accident, honestly.

I didn't fill out the survey and I'll tell you why. Nine times out of 10 Blind/VI people will either develop their own way of doing things or get mobility trainers or some kind of trainer to help them in the kitchen. Also, as much as I don't like pain and haven't moved out yet, I think if I slice myself a little with a knife, i'd be better off. Why? Because I'd learn not to do it again.
