Abstract
The objective of this study was to explore the barrier-free design process and design thinking models for people with disabilities. As a design proposition, barrier-free design has continued to evolve in the direction of diversification and humanization in conjunction with human-computer interaction technologies in recent years. Our research experiments were conducted by user demand, combined visualization and data statistics methods, conducted big data research on the current situation of people with disabilities. We also conducted a quantitative survey and analysis of their design needs, built virtual user models and virtual scenarios. By using sampling and data analysis methods, we collected the views of over 80 professional designers about the barrier-free design and investigated the most important factors that designers need to consider in relevant design process. Therefore, these design characteristics were summed as the leaf vein model of barrier-free design based on HCI. By analyzing relevant design examples, we have qualitatively assessed the feasibility of the leaf vein model. The results show that a more functional, inclusive and standardized design product can be achieved in this design area by using the leaf vein model. These results can serve as a reference for forward-looking design and research directions for the application of HCI in the field of barrier-free design.
