Abstract

This workshop paper describes experiences conducting two co-design sessions with 15 people with vision impairments. Reflection includes a discussion on the challenges around doing voice-based and tactile co-design with people who are blind or low vision including artifact creation and forming shared representations. This reflection is followed by a critical discussion of ideas for other researchers doing co-design with people with vision impairments and how they can model methods to better facilitate shared meaning among design group participants.
