Ltd.10.26689/ssr.v7i5.10739ArticleResearch on the Design of New Media Products for Barrier-Free Life of Visually Impaired People: Taking the App “Touchpoint Life” as an Examplehttps://artdesignp.com/journal/SSR/7/5/10.26689/ssr.v7i5.10739ShuJiayi,NiDan2025752025-06-06This paper focuses on the “Touchpoint Life” app designed specifically for the visually impaired. The study deeply analyzes its functional settings for different visual impairment conditions and its diverse applications of AI technology. By sorting out the life difficulties faced by the visually impaired and the limitations of existing assistive tools, the unique value and innovation of the “Touchpoint Life” app are highlighted. The aim is to provide solid theoretical and practical references for improving the quality of life of the visually impaired and promoting the development of related fields.
