Wearable Technology Design and Accessibility Considerations Course
Article No.: 136, Pages 1 - 4
Abstract
The course proposed here will focus on design and accessibility considerations for wearable technology. In this course we will explore how to develop a robust set of design and accessibility considerations (guidelines) for wearable technology. The course will begin a presentation on wearability and accessibility then participants will engage in an activity using a new Wearable Technology Designer’s Web Tool. The tool can be accessed again after the course and shared with students and colleagues. The course will end with a discussion about what design considerations might need to be added to the tool and what human factors information or other research should be updated.
