Exhibit Design Relating to Low Vision and Blindness: What Visitors with Vision Loss Want Museums and Parks to Know about Effective Communication

Multiple audio tracks playing at the same time

It was easy for some participants to differentiate between audio tracks and focus on the one that they were listening to while ignoring the others. Other people found it distracting. Participants felt a barrier, possibly of Plexiglas, would help isolate the audio tracks and make it possible for more than one person to use the display at a time. They also suggested a headset option or a pause button. The pause button would allow a visitor to finish their tactile examination of the model without triggering a repeat of the audio information.
