Graphical notation of gas stove controls: relation of low vision disability characteristics and graphic design requirements

Focused on pictograms and characters

Abstract

This study focuses on low vision and low vision, the incidence of which tends to increase with age, in light of Japan's super-aging society. By examining the graphics of gas stove operation based on the actual cooking behavior of 16 people with low vision and 19 people without low vision, the objective is to understand the potential needs of more people in the future. The results suggest the need for multimodal design that includes not only visual design but also tactile and auditory senses.
