设计师与听障人士的沟通:以“旧物改造”为例

COMMUNICATION BETWEEN DESIGNERS AND HEARING IMPAIRED PEOPLE:TAKING TRANSFORMING OLD OBJECTS AS AN EXAMPLE

本研究结合包容性设计的理论,尝试用动手“旧物改造”的方法帮助听障人士与设计师进行沟通。采用了案例研究法,对听障人士自行改造的产品案例进行分析,在此基础上总结方法,开发出帮助听障人士与设计师进行交流的“旧物改造”工具包,并邀请设计师和听障人士使用验证。本研究产出的工具包为设计师与听障人士之间的沟通提供了有效的方法;对包容性设计理论实践应用进行了有益尝试。

This study aims to apply the theory of inclusive design in helping people with hearing-impairment to communicate with designers through making.Case study was adopted as the research method to study the making activity of hearing impaired people.Based on the analysis of the case studies and methods,a toolkit was developed to facilitate communication between hearing-impaired people and designers,and then evaluated by designers and hearing impaired people.The toolkit has provided an effective method for communication between designers and hearing-impaired people.The study has demonstrated how inclusive design theory can be applied in the design process.
