Universal Design Matters: Rethinking Adaptive Experiences
Designing for the average person is passé. Instead, we need to design using edge cases to define new boundaries for natural, useful, and meaningful interactions. Although more than 15% of the population in the U.S. is considered disabled, we are all situationally disabled on a regular basis. And our aging population continues to grow.
Join design ethnographer Kelly Goto as she shows how universal design principles will enable a new era of adaptive experiences — and how this thinking will benefit all.
