Abstract

This article is based on the concept of universal design, with family life as the background, through observation and simulation experiments, and using video shooting to record and decompose the process of different people using the existing floor drain cover. After the participants cleaned the floor drain cover, let them score based on the seven principles of universal design. After that, generate personas was set up, and user behavior trajectories were drawn in detail based on the video to analyze the pain points of different people in the family environment using floor drain covers, and put forward the improved design scheme. Finally, the improved scheme was modeled and verified.
