视力障碍者与助跑者跑步运动辅助APP设计

Design of Auxiliary Application for the Running Activities of Visually Impaired Individuals and Guide Runners

摘要: 视力障碍者与助跑者进行跑步运动时存在双方协调性不足和磨合程度难以量化的问题，导致视力障碍者的跑步体验难以得到保障。通过深入研究我国视力障碍者与助跑者跑步运动的需求和痛点，本文提出了适用于视力障碍者跑步运动的无障碍交互设计原则。在充分考虑现有设备与技术平台的基础上，设计了一套基于iPhone和Apple Watch的视力障碍者与助跑者跑步运动辅助APP。该APP不仅可以帮助视力障碍者了解自身跑步的强度与姿态，同时能够量化视力障碍者与助跑者的协调程度，从而为进一步提高双方磨合度和提升视力障碍者的跑步体验提供坚实的数据基础和有效的辅助工具。

Abstract: During the engagement of visually impaired individuals and their guide runners in running activities, the issue of insufficient coordination between the two parties and the difficulty in quantifying the level of cooperation arises, leading to a less guaranteed running experience for the visually impaired. Through an in-depth investigation of the needs and pain points in the running activities of visually impaired individuals and guide runners in our country, principles of accessible interaction design suitable for running activities of visually impaired individuals have been proposed. With ample consideration of the existing equipment and technology platforms, an auxiliary application for the running activities of visually impaired individuals and guide runners has been designed, based on iPhone and Apple Watch. This application not only aids visually impaired individuals in understanding their running intensity and posture but also quantifies the level of coordination between the visually impaired individuals and guide runners, thereby providing a solid data foundation and effective auxiliary tools for further improving the level of cooperation between the two parties and enhancing the running experience of the visually impaired.
