Touch·Hear·Remember:A Multimodal Design and Cultural Empowerment Study on Cultural and Creative Books for Individuals with Visual Impairments

Abstract

Individuals with visual impairments constitute a key population within the public cultural service system,facing dual barriers of“physical accessibility”and“psychological accessibility.”Their needs regarding cultural rights protection and social inclusion have become increasingly prominent.Against the backdrop of the implementation of the Barrier-Free Environment Construction Law,this study draws upon core findings from relevant literature and centers on the development of cultural and creative books for visually impaired individuals as an innovative medium.It elaborates on the theoretical foundations,design principles,and practical pathways of such development based on the perceptual characteristics,cultural needs,and current status of social support for visually impaired groups.The paper proposes a development framework of“multisensory integration+cultural immersion+technological empowerment+social collaboration,”and further illustrates these concepts through a design case on calligraphy culture.The study aims to provide references for the industrial development and public-welfare promotion of cultural and creative books for visually impaired individuals,thereby contributing to the high-quality and equitable development of public cultural services.
