Interview/thoughts Request! - School Project (self.Blind)
submitted by ArcticKook
A bit about my project.
Me and my team are trying to design an app/gadget/accessory or just something that can help blind people get around. We're targeting people that are born Blind and/or that have lost their sight. We want to try to make it so that blind people are not limited just because their blind

Hello Reddit,
First let me introduce myself. My name is Adan and I'm majoring in IXD. I need help on a project for one of my classes which requires me to interview/get thoughts from a blind person on their everyday lfe. I don't know anyone that is blind so I thought maybe Reddit can help. If anyone is willing to participate and help me out with my project you can PM me and for participating I will reward you with a Starbucks gift card. I'm looking for someone that is willing to share their experience in full detail and is willing to share what their life goals are. I really want to get a feel of your life as a blind person.

*Serious answer only please and thank you everyone

I am definitely willing but there is a technicality you may like to consider, which may disqualify me. I am a very independent blind person, seen as kind of out there and brave as a blind person.. I travel extremely well, for the exception with seeing door signs I don’t usually have any much difficulty. I travel extensively and I mean very extensively. So, I am a willing participant, though you’re also dealing with a very competent person, which may not be able to produce much of an answer when asked what difficulty I have with travel. And, I am honestly not trying to brag or be vain here. I want to help you, but may not be able to. I think I grasp the usual challenges with others but honestly have few and far in between here.
