Accessible Design for Everyone: How Inclusive Products Empower Freedom & Independence
1. Blind Learning Recorder
This product is specially designed for blind students, helping them take notes efficiently and understand information hierarchy through physical interaction. The device features three concentric knobs and buttons that correspond to the information structure, aiding in knowledge comprehension.
Additionally, connecting two devices allows for score sharing, while the accompanying app enables teachers and parents to upload audio materials, providing comprehensive support for blind students’ learning needs.
2. One-Handed Gaming Controller
Globally, there are many one-handed gamers, whether due to the absence of hands or conditions like missing fingers or functional impairments. After market analysis, the grip posture was meticulously categorized. The designer concluded that one-handed players greatly benefit from a compact, egg-shaped device, as this form allows for easy one-handed gripping during gameplay.
3. Microsoft Adaptive Accessories
Microsoft addressed the needs of disabled gamers with the Xbox Adaptive Controller, followed by the Surface Adaptive Kit, designed for seamless integration with existing input devices. Building on this, Microsoft has now developed adaptive accessories tailored for individuals seeking a better experience than traditional mouse and keyboard setups.
