Section11. Report of the “Blind Experience”

Blind Experience is a simulated experience of what it is like to be blind.

People like Ms. Yoshihara, who are visually impaired and cannot recognize objects and people, use the information they receive, such as the sound of voices, the feeling of touch, and the characteristics of the objects and people described to them, to imagine and understand what their surroundings are like.

Blind Experience is an experience to think about how to explain for visually impaired people what they see through the experience of communicating what they see to others as accurately as possible using only words, and imagining what they see from the words communicated.
