[CEUD-ICT] Doing anything Friday???

[Gerard Ellis]

Hi,

I thought some people here might be interested in a presentation that I have 
been asked to give to the students and faculty members responsible for an 
MSc course on Interactive Entertainment Technology in the Dept. of Computer 
Science and Statistics in TCD. It will take place between 5 and 6 PM this 
Friday in Room L3 in the Hamilton Centre which is near the Lincoln Place 
entrance. All are welcome and there is no charge.

The abstract for the presentation is below


Take Care,

Gerry Ellis

If you don't know where you're going,
How will you know when you get there?

The Economic Imperative
of Social Inclusion



Abstract


It is as natural for a society to contain people with disabilities as those 
without. This presentation will examine the benefits of including the needs 
of people with disabilities when designing and developing entertainment and 
related products and services. It will demonstrate that the benefits accrue 
not only to people with disabilities themselves, but to the companies and 
individuals who design and develop these products and services.

The presentation  will highlight some of the relevant legislation both 
nationally and internationally which governs inclusion. However, it will 
also show that standards and practices, including Design for All, exist to 
support inclusion. In short, it will show that good design benefits 
everyone.
