LOOK Books
Start with looking.
Clear pictures, dark backgrounds and very little competing for attention.
LOOK Books grew from a very specific gap: there simply weren’t many digital books made for learners with CVI who were working at the earliest stages of using vision.
Some learners are still working on very basic visual ideas — noticing something on the screen, finding it again, holding a look, recognizing familiar pictures, and beginning to understand that vision can be useful.
LOOK Books start there. One clear image. Strong contrast. Dark backgrounds. Controlled movement. Very little competing for attention.
Some books are mostly for looking. Others add a simple visual effect or touch response.
But I didn’t want them to feel like clinical materials.
A learner with CVI may be sharing the book with a sibling, parent, teacher, classmate or someone with typical vision. So there has always been an effort to make the books visually interesting enough for both the learner and the person sharing the experience.
That balance is difficult — simple enough to be accessible, but interesting enough to be worth sharing.
Simple enough to see. Interesting enough to share.
Good place to look if you want: clear images · strong contrast · very low visual clutter · slow engagement · familiar subjects
