Quantifying design exclusion (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Clarkson, P., & Keates, S. (2002). Quantifying design exclusion. In S. Keates, P. Langdon, P. J. Clarkson, & P. Robinson (Eds.), Universal access and assistive technology: Proceedings of the Cambridge workshop on UA and AT ’02 (22-32). https://doi.org/1

Products make demands of their users which effect their utility and usability. As a result, those users who do not have the capability to use the product are denied access to it. For example, a kettle that is so heavy that a weaker user cannot lift i... Read More about Quantifying design exclusion.

It is known that many products are not accessible to large sections of the population. Designers instinctively focus on providing the necessary utility for someone with physical and skill capabilities similar to their own (Cooper, 1999), unless speci... Read More about Defining Design Exclusion.

Cursor characterisation and haptic interfaces for motion-impaired users (2002)

For people with functional impairments, independent control of a computer is often an important part of everyday life. However, in order to be of benefit, computer systems must be accessible. For people with motion-impairments, the keyboard, mouse an... Read More about Cursor characterisation and haptic interfaces for motion-impaired users.

Countering Design Exclusion (2002)

Conventional product interfaces present serious difficulties to users with functional impairments. Conditions causing such impairments can occur throughout the life course, affecting all age groups. Certain symptoms, such as reduced hearing, appear w... Read More about Countering Design Exclusion.

Inclusive design diagnosis based on the ONS scales? (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Dong, H., Keates, S., & Clarkson, P. J. (2002). Inclusive design diagnosis based on the ONS scales?. In S. Keates, P. Langdon, P. J. Clarkson, & P. Robinson (Eds.), Proceedings of CWUAAT '02, 1st Cambridge Workshop on Universal Access and Assistive Techno

Designing for a wider range of population has recently been propagated by new design philosophies and approaches such as Universal Design, Design for All and Inclusive Design. Compared with the other two approaches, Inclusive Design approach seems to... Read More about Inclusive design diagnosis based on the ONS scales?.

Designing for inclusivity: Assessing the accessibility of everyday products (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Cardoso, C., Keates, S., & Clarkson, P. J. (2002). Designing for inclusivity: Assessing the accessibility of everyday products. In S. Keates, P. Langdon, P. J. Clarkson, & P. Robinson (Eds.), Proceedings of CWUAAT '02, 1st Cambridge Workshop on Universal

The older adult population in most developed countries is growing slowly, but continuously (Laslett, 1996). Several functional changes occur with age which may result in a decrease of perceptual, cognitive and motor skills (Smith et al., 2000). In sp...

"Point and click" interactions remain one of the key features of graphical user interfaces (GUIs). People with motion-impairments, however, can often have difficulty with accurate control of standard pointing devices. This paper discusses work that a...

Presentation / Conference Contribution
Woodham, C. A., Su, H., & Larcombe, P. (2002). A symbolic Investigation of pole-zero cancellation for a triple Inverted pendulum.

The balancing of an inverted pendulum is a classic control problem of some thirty years or so standing, whichhas been revisited of late in the light of recent developments in symbolic computation [1,2]. The controllability of the damped double invert... Read More about A symbolic Investigation of pole-zero cancellation for a triple Inverted pendulum.

Presentation / Conference Contribution
Wigan, M., Browne, M., Allen, J., & Anderson, S. (2002). Understanding the growth in service trips and developing transport modelling approaches to commercial, service and light goods movements.

Freight modelling and analysis has recently risen in importance. However although the concentration to date on specifically 'freight' vehicles and lorries has begun to cover the bulk of commodity tonnage flows, it has not properly addressed the mix o...
