Tools for Supporting Inclusive Design

چکیده
Despite the ageing population and the subsequent importance of considering older people in design, many designers struggle to do so. In particular, they often lack appropriate materials and tools to help them implement inclusive design in practice. This paper describes work at the Cambridge Engineering Design Centre to address this shortfall, developing resources to motivate and equip designers to produce more inclusive designs.

Institutional Repository Virtual task simulation for inclusive design
Human modelling tools provide a means to perform virtual task evaluations upon designs within the computer environment. The ability to evaluate the accommodation of a design early on in the design process before physical prototypes can be built has many advantages. These advantages are particularly relevant in supporting people in attempting to design products that are inclusive and accessible....
