Abstract

Nowadays, more and more visually impaired people want to live independently and cook for themselves. However, cooking independently may bring lots of challenges. This paper provides a better solution by helping visually impaired users locate ingredients quickly and find more ways to cook flexibly. The design is a comprehensive process. After the stage of problem identification, brainstorming, concept development and prototyping, we finally designed an application, Tasteful, that helps visually impaired users better solve the problems encountered in the cooking process.
