Project 04Sensate2021 — 2022
An Assistive Tool to Help Blind Users Experience and Create Art

Sensate is a minimal and intuitive assistive tool designed to help blind and visually impaired individuals create and experience art through touch and sound. Challenging the misconception that sight loss limits creative expression, Sensate makes colour information accessible by allowing users to scan a canvas and receive feedback via braille, vibration, or audio. Developed through in-depth research, it empowers users to explore colour intuitively, regardless of their level of vision or artistic experience. While primarily created for blind artists, Sensate also invites sighted users to rethink how we perceive and engage with colour.
