In the often visually-driven world of work, navigating and utilizing spaces efficiently can pose significant challenges for individuals with visual impairments. This dissertation delves into the transformative potential of multisensory systems to empower this population within the workplace, enhancing their spatial efficiency and creating a more inclusive environment. Through a mixed-methods approach, the research draws upon existing literature, data analysis, case studies, and participant surveys to explore the landscape of workplace accessibility and the specific needs of visually impaired individuals. It then examines a diverse range of multisensory technologies, encompassing tactile elements, auditory cues, and olfactory design, as potential solutions to optimize space usage. Central to the research is the hypothesis that implementing multisensory systems will significantly improve the efficiency of space usage for visually impaired individuals compared to traditional workplaces. This enhanced efficiency encompasses various aspects, including improved wayfinding, increased access to information and resources, and a more streamlined approach to daily tasks. Case studies of existing workplaces utilizing multisensory design offer valuable insights into practical implementation strategies and user experiences. Qualitative and quantitative data analysis further illuminate the impact of these systems, revealing user perspectives, behavioural changes, and potential challenges to address. Ultimately, the research culminates in practical recommendations and design guidelines for incorporating multisensory solutions into diverse workspaces. These recommendations prioritize user needs, accessibility considerations, and aesthetic integration, paving the way for inclusive and empowering work environments for all.
