Experience Suitcase: Designing a system for simulating the effects of acquired brain injury

At: Windesheim University of Technology

The Experience Suitcase is an interactive PDF designed for people with acquired brain injury (ABI) who are eager to improve their life quality after the injury and people without ABI who feel the need to learn more about it. Users without ABI can directly experience effects similar to post-ABI impairments by doing assignments. The redesign project started with literature research about ABI and its consequences to support generating new assignment ideas. Interviews with people with ABI were then conducted to provide subjective insights for further developing the ideas. After the developed ideas are incorporated into the prototype, the prototype is tested and evaluated by target users.
