This TEDxMIT talk by Judy Brewer provides insights into how to remove barriers to create an accessible and inclusive design for better technologies that everyone can use to support a diverse workforce and customers.
Getting online can give people access to science, technology, and the world of ideas. Over a billion people in the world have some kind of disability—but we’re still putting barriers in front of them in the online world. Inclusive design allows us to design better technologies that everyone can use.
Judy Brewer works on accessibility of the digital world at the World Wide Web Consortium’s Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI). The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines provide accessibility guidance for the web, on descriptions for images and video, captions for audio, interoperability for speech recognition, and sites that are easier to learn for people with cognitive disabilities. Accessibility is also important for mobile phones, digital books, online games, telepresence robots, virtual reality and more.
