Symbiotic Design for Sensory Diversity

Abstract

Although there are many kinds of design for people with declining sensory abilities, there are still few examples of design for people with sensory hypersensitivity. Here, we tried to develop design for people with sensory hypersensitivity. We proposed (1) visualization of taste on food package, (2) a shopping assistance system for consumers with sensory hypersensitivity, and (3) an on-line game to teach sensory hypersensitivity to children. Our goal is to develop a society where people with and without sensory hypersensitivity understand each other and perform better than ever more.
