Designing Accessible Technology de P. John Clarkson

Designing Accessible Technology

Editat de P. John Clarkson, P. Langdon, P. Robinson
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 5 apr 2006
Rapid and unprecedented population ageing poses a serious social and economic challenge across the developed world. Shifts in dependency ratios point to escalating welfare and pensions costs which require radical and imaginative responses from Government and industry. Key to this is a healthy population able and willing to work longer before retirement and who can be independent for as long as possible afterwards as well as bringing disabled people into mainstream life and employment.
This book was stimulated by the 3rd CWUAAT workshop (the CWUAAT workshops have a general focus on product and solution development). It was held in Cambridge, UK in April 2006. Contributions from leading researchers focused on:
- design issues for a more inclusive world;
- enabling computer access and the development of new technologies;
- assistive technology and rehabilitation robotics; and,
- understanding users and involving them in design.

Notă biografică

This proceedings of the 3rd CWUAAT conference/workshop is edited by three of the editors who have worked on the previous proceedings. The proceedings from the 1st and 2nd CWUAATs were published with Springer under the titles "Universal Access and Assistive Technology" and "Designing a More Inclusive World". This volume will represent developments in the field from the past 4 years.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

Rapid and unprecedented population ageing poses a serious social and economic challenge across the developed world. Shifts in dependency ratios point to escalating welfare and pensions costs which require radical and imaginative responses from Government and industry. The key to this is maintaining a healthy population that is able and willing to work longer before retirement and can remain independent for as long as possible afterwards as well as bringing disabled people into mainstream life and employment.
This book was stimulated by the third CWUAAT workshop, held in Cambridge, England in April 2006; the contributors representing leading researchers in the fields of Inclusive Design, Rehabilitation Robotics, Universal Access and Assistive Technology.
Contributions focus on the following topics:
  • design issues for a more inclusive world;
  • enabling computer access and the development of new technologies;
  • assistive technology and rehabilitation robotics; and,
  • understanding users and involving them in design.
The CWUAAT workshops have a general focus on product and solution development. As a result, many of the requirements for the successful design of assistive and accessible technology have been addressed and these range from the identification and capture of the needs of the users, through to the development and evaluation of truly usable and accessible systems for users with special needs.

Caracteristici
