| 7 principles of universal design |
|
Definition
Equitable use – the design is useful and sellable to people with diverse abilities
Flexibility in use – the design benefits a wide range of preferences and abilities
Simple and intuitive use – use of the design is easy to understand, regardless of the user's experience, knowledge, language skills, or concentration level
Perceptible information – the design is easily communicated to the user
Tolerance for error – the design reduces hazards and the consequences if an accident occurs
Low physical effort – the design can be used efficiently and comfortably with minimum fatigue
Appropriate size and space – there is enough size/space provided for approach, reach, and function, regardless of body size, posture, or mobility |
