Body storming**    Body storming is the process of testing objects, products or commodities with human subjects in natural circumstances to determine the product-human interaction that results. This technique is mostly used in the prototypic and testing stages of the product development lifecycle. A popular example is the impact of an airbag on the driver involved in a collision.  From the video on body storming, the first research on visual disability revealed the high use and heavy reliance on other senses to perform tasks by visually impaired individuals. Therefore the use of multi-sensory approaches such as sound and touch is encouraged when designing for visually the challenged.  The second study on attention deficit disorder required the participant to recite a telephone number solving math problems. The participant experienced difficulties which impacted his self-esteem. It was discovered that experiences hardly use clear narrations to assist users and present them with enjoyable yet challenging activities to improve attention.  The third study on the impact of chronic arthritis. The participant reported constant fear of injury and rise in body temperature when performing tasks. The study revealed the benefits of using successful routes, passing space and tangible objects with safe materials to decrease the fear of participation. In addition, to empower and enhance interactions, speech recognition should be further researched.
