The names in the title all serve similar purposes. Universal design<\/strong> is described as;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Universal Design is the design and composition of an environment so that it can be accessed, understood and used to the greatest extent possible by all people regardless of their age, size, ability or disability. <\/p>[1]<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

While inclusive design <\/strong>can also mean the same thing for websites and built environments, its main origin was product design where the principle acknowledges that there can’t be one single product that solves all the problems for all the users however different perspectives and approaches can make a product usable for a more diverse population, hence a product can be optimised for a population with specific needs.[2]<\/sup> Whereas accessible design<\/strong> focuses more on the people with disabilities.[3]<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although these principles contradict with each other a bit when it comes to product design, we can say that universal design covers the other two for a “for all” interaction design approach. Producing something that is usable by all is the main approach of universal design, while both accessible and inclusive design look for different approaches like adding accessibility options to an OS to achieve better usability by all. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

7 Principles of Universal Design[4]<\/sup><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
  1. Equitable Use<\/strong> – consider all users instead of a target group<\/li>
  2. Flexibility in Use<\/strong> – flexible, adaptable and\/or customisable design<\/li>
  3. Simple and Intuitive Use<\/strong> – reduce complexity and cognitive loads<\/li>
  4. Perceptible Information<\/strong> – present easily digestible information <\/li>
  5. Tolerance for Error<\/strong> – create an error-friendly environment<\/li>
  6. Low Physical Effort<\/strong> – efficient and effortless usability <\/li>
  7. Size and Space for Approach and Use<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
