The document discusses ways to help visually impaired people better perceive and interact with the world. It notes that vision accounts for over 85% of typical human perception. The main question is how to increase contributions of other senses from 15% to maximize what can be achieved through design. As designers, we must establish more connections between non-visual receptors and the world. The central idea behind the Center for Non-Visual Education and Research is to create a space that teaches visually impaired people to enhance their other sensory perceptions, develop knowledge and confidence to live normally in society.
