Accessible Cup Design for the Visually lmpaired

This electric kettle is specially designed for the visually impaired. It innovatively drives the rise and fall of the red ball on the lid of the kettle through steam, transforming the water temperature into a touchable height change. The user can intuitively judge the best drinking temperature by sensing the convex degree of the ball, which fundamentally avoids the risk of scald caused by traditional visual or auditory prompts. Combined with the 360 ° omnidirectional spout design, the operation problems of visually impaired users in spatial positioning and angle adjustment of the kettle body are effectively solved, and a stable and barrier-free dumping experience in any direction is realized. The design combines minimalist aesthetics and multiple safety mechanisms, replacing traditional audio-visual cues with tactile feedback, significantly improving operational safety and autonomy. The overall design deeply responds to the core needs of visually impaired groups, reflecting a strong humanistic care and people-oriented design concept.
