Preschool visually impaired children rely more through interactions with their parents to perceive the world. Additionally, the use of parent-child toys is even more indispensable for the improvement of parent-child relationship. However, for general toys that are either bulky or ordinary characteristics are more difficult for visually impaired children to perceive. NOISIV allows visually impaired families to quickly learn Braille through a simple design the size of achild’s palm. The size is imported into the planning of the design scale, and combined with the design of the double-layered box. The sound caused by the collision is used to remind the user of the whereabouts of the building block. Furthermore, parents can keep track of their children’s learning progress through the mobile app.
Educational board games can not only improve parent-child interactions but also help cultivate the self-cognition ability of preschool visually impaired children.
