Quantifying Design Exclusion (2003)
Book Chapter
Clarkson, J., Dong, H., & Keates, S. (2003). Quantifying Design Exclusion. In J. Clarkson, S. Keates, R. Coleman, & C. Lebbon (Eds.), Inclusive Design: Design for the Whole Population (422-436). Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4471-0001-0

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.

Assessing inclusivity throughout the design process (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Cardoso, C., Keates, S., & Clarkson, P. J. (2003, August). Assessing inclusivity throughout the design process. Presented at International conference on engineering design ICED 03, Stockholm, Sweden

Everyday design solutions often cause unnecessary levels of discomfort or even exclusion, affecting mainly older adult users and people of all ages with a variety of functional impairments. Designers? intuitive and informal approaches to the evaluati... Read More about Assessing inclusivity throughout the design process.

Adaptation of a disability severity scale for product assessment (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Clarkson, P. J., Dong, H., & Keates, S. (2003, August). Adaptation of a disability severity scale for product assessment. Presented at International conference on engineering design ICED 03, Stockholm, Sweden

An inclusively-designed product should accommodate the widest possible range of user capabilities. Consequently, it is important for designers to know about the full range of potential user capabilities found across the general population when assess...

Temporal context and the recognition of emotion from facial expression (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kaliouby, R. E., Robinson, P., & Keates, S. (2003, June). Temporal context and the recognition of emotion from facial expression. Presented at HCI International 2003, The 10th International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction, Crete, Greece

Facial displays are an important channel for the expression of emotions and are often thought of as projections or ?read out? of a person?s mental state. While it is generally believed that emotion recognition from facial expression improves with con... Read More about Temporal context and the recognition of emotion from facial expression.

Inclusive design: A balance between product demands and user capabilities (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Clarkson, P. J., & Keates, S. (2003, September). Inclusive design: A balance between product demands and user capabilities. Presented at ASME 2003 International Design Engineering Technical Conferences and Computers and Information in Engineering Conference, Chicago, Illinois, USA

The world population is aging and the number of people who are experiencing a loss of functional capability is also on the increase. There is a need to design ?inclusive? products to accommodate this wider range of capabilities and to develop metrics...
