ESCHENBACH vario digital FHD –
Video reader for visually impaired users.
Initial situation
Development of a stationary video reader with a wide range of functions for users with impaired vision.
Challenge
High functional density, complex mechanics, robustness, target group with low technical affinity.
Conflict
High-tech construction vs. low-tech experience.
Solution
Guided folding mechanism, visual simplification of technical elements, clear operating hierarchy, compact folding.
Result
A robust assistance system with a high density of functions, whose technical complexity is mastered in its design and reduced in its use. The clear operating logic minimises support costs, while the modular mechanics facilitate installation and servicing. The compact folding architecture optimises transport and storage.
