 Design for All in ICT, by Walter Mellors.
Mellors presents a three level model for adopting the Design for All approach when designing Information and Communications Technology (ICT) products. He states that two complementary approaches are needed to enable disabled and elderly people to lead full and independent lives; the Design for All approach and the Assistive Technology (AT) approach. Mellors ends up with a description of technical solutions and examples of how information can be exchanged with assistive devices and services.  Universal design in ICT services, by Kristin Skeide Fuglerud.
Skeide Fuglerud presents arguments for universal design in information and communication technology (ICT) services and discusses the importance of integrating universal design activities into the development process. She gives us instructions and advice on how to incorporate a universal design approach into a design process, based on her own experience.   Use of Mobile Video telephony by Blind People: Increasing independence and spontaneity for day-to-day life, by Bjørn Hestnes, Peter Brooks and Svein Heiestad. Hestnes, Brooks and Heiestad describethe proposal and testing of a communication service concept that assists blind and visually impaired people. They claim that by using two-way audio and one-way video from a blind or visually impaired person to a service operator, a new and important communication service may have been born. One result of their work is guidelines for industry on user quality of experience. |
Miljøverndepartementet har valgt ut til sammen åtte fylker som pilotfylker for universell utforming. I tillegg til Hedmark og Oppland, som skal arbeide som "par-fylke", er Østfold, Aust-Agder, Rogaland, Møre og Romsdal, Nord-Trøndelag og Finnmark gitt pilotfylke-status.
