A student submitted an assignment detailing the physical challenges faced by someone with vision impairment in everyday tasks like navigating their own house and other buildings. Specific difficulties included locating the kitchen appliances and bathroom areas, accessing the bedroom and balcony, and using normal staircases. Interacting with others in common spaces is also not possible. The assignment provides insights into designing more accessible and inclusive buildings for people with vision impairments.
