Integrating user centered design, universal design and goal, operation, method and selection rules to improve the usability of DAISY player for persons with visual impairments

“…Therefore, the Center for Universal Design followed the spirit of universality to develop the seven principles of UD (Center for Universal Design, 1997;Fletcher et al, 2015). Park et al (2014) examined the potential of UD in the field of apparel product and Sangelkar et al (2012) developed early stage applicable design guidelines for designing universal products. Raviselvam et al (2014) investigated the lead users, specifically the elderly, as a source of ideas on UD and proposed a combination of product function and human activity for those with disability.…”

Incorporating Universal Design: Evaluating Its Role in Textile Design Education for Accessible Home Textiles

“…While the idea behind UD is to create products and environments that can be usable by the maximum number of people possible, challenges are presented when those products are also used for self-expression. In a study that assessed the use of UD for apparel products, it was found that the three principles, 'simple and intuitive use', 'perceptible information' and 'low physical effort', were not as relevant or applicable as the others when designing apparel (Park et al 2014). The authors concluded that modification of the original UD principles should be considered in applications for apparel design, in part because of the desire for self-expression with clothing.…”
