Business Overview

Instead of thinking about ways to support people with disabilities after they are created, or thinking about things that are easy for everyone to use, we will practice a design process that brings new value by making use of ideas and viewpoints that arise from people with disabilities. As the first step, we will develop a tool to intuitively enjoy an environment with sound without preparing a special environment, focusing on visual impairment.
