This preliminary work considers alternatives to proprietary nosings, which could be equally effective at visually highlighting the edges of nosings. This paper considers two alternative designs: contrasting floor covering on alternate steps and localised LED lighting on alternate steps. The work illustrates how the two conditions compare visually against the baseline condition of a stair without nosing markings (typical in domestic settings) and a stair with contrasting proprietary nosings (typical of a public setting). It also explores the possibility of further experimental research which will consider the measurement of changes in gait which might result from the addition of visual nosing highlighting. |
