Basic Design

• Design– Visual Design– Interface/Workflow Design– User Experience (UX)

• 4D Design Flow– 發現 (Discover) : How? Why?– 定義 (Define)– 發展 (Develop) : Interdisciplinary

Brainstorming– 傳遞 (Deliver) 4

• Universal Design in Architecture and Physical Environments – design of structures that anticipates the needs of individuals with disabilities and accommodates these needs from the outset

Universal Design - History• American National Standards Institute (ANSI)

– 1961: Specifications for Making Buildings and Facilities Accessible to and Usable by people with physical disabilities

• Uniform Federal Accessibility Standard (UFAS)– Adapted ANSI standard for federally funded construction

• Fair Housing Amendment– 1988: Access guidelines to multiple housing units

• Americans with Disabilities Act – 1990: Mandatory conditions for public spaces

Assistive Technology

• Assistive technology device is defined as “any item, piece of equipment, or product system, whether acquired commercially off-the-shelf, modified or customized, that is used to increase, maintain, or improve functional capabilities of individuals with disabilities.” – Assistive Technology Act of 1998

1. 可長久使用，具經濟性2. 品質優良且美觀3. 對人體及環境無害

20

Equitable Use• The design is useful and marketable to

people with diverse abilities– Provide the same means of use for all users:

identical whenever possible; equivalent when not.

– Avoid segregating or stigmatizing any users. – Provisions for privacy, security, and safety

should be equally available to all users. – Make the design appealing to all users.

21

Equitable Use

22

Flexibility in Use

• The design accommodates a wide range of individual preference and abilities.– Provide choice in methods of use. – Accommodate right- or left-handed access and

use. – Facilitate the user's accuracy and precision. – Provide adaptability to the user's pace.

23

Flexibility in Use

24

Simple and Intuitive Use• Use of the design is easy to understand,

regardless of the user's experience, knowledge, language skills, or current concentration level.– Eliminate unnecessary complexity. – Be consistent with user expectations and

intuition. – Accommodate a wide range of literacy and

language skills. – Arrange information consistent with its

importance. – Provide effective prompting and feedback

during and after task completion. 25

Perceptible Information• The design communicates necessary information

effectively to the user, regardless of ambient conditions or the user's sensory abilities.– Use different modes (pictorial, verbal, tactile)

for redundant presentation of essential information.

– Provide adequate contrast between essential information and its surroundings.

– Maximize "legibility" of essential information. – Differentiate elements in ways that can be

described (i.e., make it easy to give instructions or directions).

– Provide compatibility with a variety of techniques or devices used by people with sensory limitations.

26

Perceptible Information

27

Tolerance for Error• The design minimizes hazards and the

adverse consequences of accidental or unintended actions. – Arrange elements to minimize hazards and

errors: most used elements, most accessible; hazardous elements eliminated, isolated, or shielded.

– Provide warnings of hazards and errors. – Provide fail safe features. – Discourage unconscious action in tasks that

require vigilance.

28

Tolerance for Error

29

Low Physical Effort

• The design can be used efficiently and comfortably and with a minimum of fatigue. – Allow user to maintain a neutral body position. – Use reasonable operating forces. – Minimize repetitive actions. – Minimize sustained physical effort

30

Low Physical Effort

31

Size and Space for Approach and Use

• Appropriate size and space is provided for approach, reach, manipulation, and use regardless of user's body size, posture, or mobility.– Provide a clear line of sight to important

elements for any seated or standing user. – Make reach to all components comfortable for

any seated or standing user. – Accommodate variations in hand and grip size. – Provide adequate space for the use of assistive

devices or personal assistance.

32

Size and Space for Approach and Use

33

• Universal Design for Learning – design curricula with the needs of all learners in mind, so that, methods, materials and assessments are usable by all.

Empathizing

Empathy is the foundation of a human-centered design process. To empathize, you:• Observe. View users and their behavior in the context of their

lives.• Engage. Interact with and interview users through both

scheduled and short ‘intercept’ encounters.• Immerse. Experience what your user experiences.
