London photographic exhibition improves accessibility for visually impaired

Photography is a visual medium so how do you make it accessible to people who are partially sighted or cannot see at all?

That is the aim of World Unseen, a temporary exhibition at Somerset House in central London, where photographs have been brought to life using 3D elevated prints, audio descriptions, soundscapes and braille to help visitors connect with the images.

Organised by Canon Europe, the exhibition is also intended to give fully sighted people a better appreciation of the partially sighted experience.
