AIMS
- to make HCI designers aware of the needs of people with disabilities and older people;
- to recommend guidelines for the design of HCI to facilitate the use of computers by people with disabilities and older people;
- to monitor the latest developments in the design of HCI and their impact on accessibility and usability;
- to encourage the development of information and communication technologies and complementary tools which permit their adaptation to each specific user.
SCOPE
Working Group 13.3 aims to make designers of information and communications technologies and complementary tools aware of the needs of these groups in order to encourage the development of more appropriate tools for accessibility and usability. As a result, systems will become more universally accessible, and the market for them will increase.
Specifically the scope of WG13.3 will include the following activities:
- coordination and exchange of information with other relevant bodies;
- collaboration with institutions interested in this field of HCI and disability;
- focussed HCI orientation to enable people with disabilities and older people to use information and communications technologies and complementary tools for positive advantage.
