A-see-stance, is a system intervention that introduces design solutions around retail information that heavily relies on visual communication, forming the foundation of consumer interaction.
This design project is centred around an innovative experimental one-way tactile navigation system and tactile add-on product labels, utilizing distinct shapes to introduce a palpable language for users to feel while walking and communicate product information.

Shaping this project is not only about creating one solution to a problem. It is also a challenge to design and create a way that considers individuality, diversity and personal autonomy as a priority, as this is the key to a successful shopping experience.

Throughout the design process, we received invaluable support and feedback from members of the community who are either living with visual disabilities or closely familiar with their challenges. Their input enriched our understanding and guided us towards creating a more inclusive and thoughtful retail environment.

Moreover, the system anticipates the incorporation of safety warnings and signs within the pattern arrangement. Rather than introducing supplementary obstacles, these crucial alerts harmoniously blend into the tactile flooring pattern, becoming an integral part of its disruption. This revolutionary approach not only enhances navigational clarity but also prioritizes safety, reflecting a remarkable synergy between form and function in the realm of user-centered design.

In accordance with FDA and UK food labeling regulations, each label encompasses product name, type, and vital warnings, including allergens and harmful ingredients. To enhance accessibility, an indicator aids locating labels at package tops. The design incorporates a system language inspired by section initials (Category, dietary). Information is vertically arranged, reflecting user input and adhering to accessible principles. This thoughtful design considers user preferences and supports efficient communication, aligning with both regulatory and inclusive objectives.
