Universal design of information systems and telecommunications means developing systems flexible enough to accommodate the broadest possible range of users regardless of age or disability. The time has come to think creatively, to move beyond the outmoded, clumsy and costly approach of retrofitting systems with adaptive equipment to create access for many end users. Universal design calls for flexible interfaces to be built into the product at the blueprint stage, producing systems more easily used by everyone. Implemented in its best sense, universal design can result in an expanded market and a mutually beneficial situation for both industry and consumers. The presentation will feature Electronic Curbcuts. a video on universal design and computer interfaces, which was produced by the Universal Access Project. |
