Abstract:
Designers of telematic services and devices need on line information
about user needs and preferences, design guidelines and tools
in order to develop good products. The INCLUDE (http://www.stakes.fi/include)
project gives this information.
The RTD work carried out in the projects will have to anticipate
as fully as possible the users requirements of handicapped and
elderly people. INCLUDE was therefore set up with the goal of
helping Telematics projects achieve improved accessibility to
new products and services. In order to achieve the objectives
INCLUDE promotes involvement of European and local organisations
of people with disabilities and older people in the development
of new telematic services and devices. The European Disability
Forum is a very important partner in this work.
INCLUDE and COST 219 (http://www.stakes.fi/cost219) gives information
about how to take elderly people and people with disabilities
into account when designing new telematic devices, terminals
and services.
