Feeling Connected – Supporting remote non-verbal communication for infants born with Deafblindness

The purpose of this design project is to propose qualities in communication that could be considered when developing an assistive communication device for infants with Deafblindness in order to make the infant feel connected to the context and for the caregiver to feel connected to the infant, without having physical contact.In order to investigate the problem definition, What qualities could a device have that supports remote interpersonal non-verbal communication? and the two sub-questions: How can the device instill a sense of security, safety and support? and: How can an infant with Deafblindness sense communication?, human-centred design methods were used through a double diamond process.The design process resulted in six qualities, Direct, Spatially informative, Fluent, Individual, Turn-taking, Feedback and a final concept supporting these qualities.
