Designing a more inclusive world (2004)
Conference Proceeding
(2004). Designing a more inclusive world. In S. Keates, J. Clarkson, P. Langdon, & P. Robinson (Eds.), Designing a more inclusive world. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-0-85729-372-5

Designing inclusively is no longer an option for companies. It is a business essential. Global populations are getting older, legislation is increasingly prohibitive of unnecessary exclusion and consumer attitudes are beginning to change. Exclusivity...

Inclusive design, universal design and universal access are long standing, familiar terms with clear and laudable goals. However, their teaching and industrial uptake has been very limited. Many products still exclude users unnecessarily for reasons... Read More about Countering design exclusion: an introduction to inclusive design.

New cognitive capability scales for inclusive product design (2004)
Conference Proceeding
Langdon, P. M., Keates, S., & Clarkson, P. J. (2004). New cognitive capability scales for inclusive product design. In S. Keates, J. Clarkson, P. Langdon, & P. Robinson (Eds.), Design for a more inclusive world (59-68). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-0-85729-372-5_7

Existing capability scales, such as that of the UK Office of National Statistics (ONS) are based on a practitioner defined concept of intellectual function that is not compatible with current psychology. This chapter addresses the design requirements... Read More about New cognitive capability scales for inclusive product design.

Movement time prediction for tasks assisted by force-feedback (2004)
Conference Proceeding
Hwang, F., Keates, S., Langdon, P. M., & Clarkson, P. J. (2004). Movement time prediction for tasks assisted by force-feedback. In S. Keates, J. Clarkson, P. Langdon, & P. Robinson (Eds.), Design for a more inclusive world (143-152). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-0-85729-372-5_15

Movement plays an integral role in human-computer interaction. In particular, mouse movements can occupy as much as 65% of the time spent interacting with a graphical user interface (Johnsonet al 1993). However, for users with impaired motion, sympto...

New emerging technologies and increasingly competitive design markets are strategically planned to satisfy ’mainstream’ consumer needs. However, two population trends seem to have been ignored by this mainstream market perception: first, the economic... Read More about Comparing product assessment methods for inclusive design.
