Tools

Laser Cutter Hammer PC

Marco, visually impaired, needs an extremely organized workspace to cook in safety and with comfort. Work tools must always be in the same position and be easily distinguishable by contrast and color. PIC-AP offers a “comfort zone”: a minimal and personal working environment, where the visually impaired people can work safely, having the certainty of finding his instruments. The functionality of the project makes an appropriate tool to give (or re-give) the ability to prepare food anywhere and independently, making it a product suitable for different types of users. It’s not connoted as equipment for people with disabilities.
