We reorganized the content into a lightweight, easy-to-understand form so that in-house planners, designers, and developers can quickly read and understand them. Guidelines and checklists

User interviews User interviews were conducted to gain a more concrete understanding of the actual problems faced by the visually impaired parties and the differences in the degree of disability and medical conditions they experience. We were able to interview a total of 12 visually impaired parties working at LINE as our first target. Main Activities
