In order to gain insights into the daily experiences of individuals with visual impairments, particularly those affected by glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy and macular degeneration, simulators were developed. These simulators offer perspectives that can be accessed either through video presentations or via a webcam interface.

The design of each button seeks to capture the essence of each visual impairment with their own unique features. This exploration highlights variations in button sizes and if the design approach should lean towards simplicity with geometric shapes or embrace organic forms with irregular shapes instead.

A total of five materials were chosen to gather user feedback on their functionality. The materials vary from soft and smooth to rough and hard. Each material was carefully selected to allow for a thorough exploration of their respective pros and cons to decide on the next steps.

This concept aims to visually showcase the transition of states when applies to the vision simulator, altering the shape and size of the applied vision loss. The animations demonstrate the use of the sliders that are dynamically transforming both its from and size, ideally in sync with the interface.

A custom-made slider was made to personalise it according to the initial design concept where there will be a metal ball being a part of the slider. Each part of the copper tape hold a higher value from the previous one, enabling the possibility to change the interface.

Each button is designed to alter the interface to reflect its corresponding visual impairment.

The p5.js interface will change based on the button the user presses.

*Although the interface is currently not connected to p5.js, it functions with the on-screen buttons.
