Fingertips, Marjan Angoshtari
To lose vision as an adult is to experience one of our worst fears.

Vision loss is a life-changing experience that dramatically affects all aspects of a person’s life. The simplest daily activities, such as buying items from a supermarket, can become difficult or even impossible. As a result, many visually impaired people suffer from a poor diet.

This project revolutionises the shopping experience for the blind in later life by taking advantage of existing and emerging technologies, to help them live a healthier and more independent life, making it practical and enjoyable for this part of society once again.
