This document summarizes the development of an app called I See U See, which aims to create common ground between blind and sighted users through sensory photography. The app allows blind users to take pictures with an audio description, creating "picsnips". These picsnips are then uploaded to the cloud with spatial tags added by sighted users listening to the audio. Blind users can run their fingers over tactile versions of picsnips to get a sense of the image. The goal is to facilitate sharing unique perspectives and experiences between blind and sighted communities through a new photographic format. Initial prototypes were tested and feedback was gathered to improve the inclusive app design.

An image is worth a thousand words But what if you cannot see?
A mobile app bridging the worlds of the blind and the sighted through sensory photography. shamik ray I See U See
An Image What role does an image play at a societal level? What are the ways it helps people find a voice/identity? Can the image be the container of other data? What new possibilities does this entail? How does the act of making an image make a person more creative/expressive? What might happen if we handed cameras to people generally not associated with them (like the blind) ? STARTING POINT
The Experience of Photography STARTING POINT
INITIAL RESEARCH _Studying about blind photographers _Researching on sensory photography
INITIAL RESEARCH _Body Storming _Video Sketch
INITIAL RESEARCH _Building a relationship with the Institute of Blind and Partially Sighted (IBOS) in Hellerup, Copenhagen. There are enough assistive gadgets. Try to create a common ground.

PROTOTYPES _Helped me to reach a research question and also to answer it
