dc.description.abstractIn a world increasingly driven by visual information, this research develops the Transition Experience Interface (TEI), dedicated to supporting individuals adapting to visual impairments with advanced accessibility technologies. TEI features a user-centric design with a mobile user interface that includes tutorials, updates on new features, a voice command guide, and a progress dashboard. These components aim to reduce dependency on visual cues, enhancing digital inclusivity and promoting independence by encouraging the use of built-in accessibility features on smartphones. TEI educates users on their devices’ capabilities and fosters habitual use of these features, preparing them to rely less on vision and more on voice commands and other settings. This proactive approach helps users operate their smartphones confidently and independently as their visual function changes, bridging the gap between traditional tools and user needs, and highlighting the potential of inclusive design.en_US
