Jonathan Hassell - The past, present and future of accessibility

The document discusses the difference between innovation and best practices. It defines innovation as introducing something new to solve problems, while best practices represent short-term solutions. The author provides seven "laws of innovation" including that innovation must solve problems, not create them, and that true innovation requires research to understand problems. Innovation is planned while invention can be accidental. The document advocates combining technologies to create new syntheses and addressing real problems through a research-driven process.

Design for all vs. Design for me: the limits of Inclusive Design

Jonathan Hassell is an expert in accessibility and inclusion with over 12 years of experience. He discusses the differences between universal design, which aims to be usable and accessible to all, and personalized design, which can tailor experiences to individual needs and preferences. While universal design has benefits, personalized design allows for more flexibility and creativity to meet different users where they are. Hassell is writing a book that provides case studies and guidance to help organizations implement accessible and usable design for all of their customers in an efficient way. It will include examples from global accessibility experts on transforming organizations.

This document discusses reframing the conversation around accessibility to focus on strategic inclusion and business benefits rather than risk mitigation. It advocates using the BS 8878 framework to embed accessibility into organizational processes and make all staff responsible. The framework addresses common challenges like costs, measurement, innovation constraints, and defines roles and responsibilities. It argues for choosing the right guidelines and building better websites through an inclusive design approach.

Accessibility innovation through gestural and sign-language interfaces

The document discusses accessibility innovation through natural user interfaces. It provides examples of projects using gesture recognition technologies like Microsoft Kinect to develop sign language recognition and movement games for blind and visually impaired children. The examples emphasize user-centered design approaches that involve representative users to understand needs and iteratively test prototypes. Focusing on accessibility was found to open opportunities to benefit broader audiences. Inclusive design approaches that listen to diverse users can identify challenges leading to innovative solutions.

Accessibility myths for a mobile generation

Some of our key accessibility ideas are back to front. The most important aspect of the accessibility of images isn't 'alt-text'. The number of disabled people who use assistive technologies is tiny compared with those who don't. And for many people video is more accessible than text, not less accessible. In this CSUN 2014 talk, Professor Jonathan Hassell exposes 16 foundational things that all advocates “know” about accessibility as myths, using real user-research to show how they need to be replaced to properly serve today’s tablet and mobile-obsessed disabled and older users.

Many organisations seem to fear that making their products accessible means dumbing them down: they might then work for everyone, but they will lose a lot of their pizzazz in the process. In this eAccess-13 presentation Jonathan Hassell presents the contrary view - that organisations that really look into the different needs of their disabled audiences often find this breaks them out of fixed positions, allowing them to take innovative leaps in product design. Using examples from the typewriter to the iPhone classic ‘Zombies, Run!’ and his own recent projects involving the Microsoft Kinect games controller, Jonathan guides you through a way of thinking about product development which is inclusive, creative and potentially very lucrative.

IWMW

This document discusses reframing the conversation around accessibility and presents BS 8878 as a solution. It notes that most organizations see accessibility as a risk and burden without understanding benefits. BS 8878 aims to embed accessibility systematically into processes rather than one-off projects. It provides a framework to reduce costs and improve quality of accessible products. The standard was created by accessibility experts and reviewed worldwide. Adopting BS 8878 helps build better, more inclusive products rather than just compliance.

But when you work on digital products working with waterfall methodologies is way too risky. Worst: you start building something on wrong assumptions and it takes forever to deliver.Either you are a big enterprise or a small startup, building great mobile products “per sé” doesn’t make any sense. You’ll always need to build them for your people.I will be presenting you the set of methods we use in nois3:Iterative Design based on multidisciplinary teams working on Jams/Sprints is fantastic to Define, Prototype, and Repeat. Adding a flavor of Data Driven UX will be your game changer to Discover.

Intro to the Intersection Observer API - Tara Ojo

The document introduces the Intersection Observer API, which allows asynchronously observing changes in the intersection of an element with the viewport or parent element. It describes how to create an IntersectionObserver instance with a callback function that checks if an element is intersecting and makes changes to it, such as loading a real image. An example shows initializing an IntersectionObserver to observe a placeholder image element and replace the placeholder when it intersects the viewport.

Accessible client side routing - Nick Colley

The document discusses making client-side routing accessible in single-page applications. It notes that 1 in 5 people in the UK have a disability and accessibility is important for all users. Assistive technologies like screen readers rely on cues from the browser. Client-first frameworks render pages with JavaScript in the browser rather than on the server. To improve accessibility, techniques like announcer patterns and managing focus can be used. Links to examples and additional resources on the topic are provided.

Where are the women? - Dora Militaru

The document discusses diversity and inclusion in the workplace. It notes statistics showing gender imbalance in some industries and fields. It suggests that quotas may be needed to achieve true diversity. It also comments that companies should hire people who care about diversity and inclusion, check for biases, and reach out to underrepresented groups. Tolerating diversity is not the same as embracing it.

Optical alignment - Ivan Grekov

This document discusses optical alignment in user interfaces for frontend developers. It defines geometric and optical alignment and describes typical algorithms for each. Optical alignment helps define the proper center of shapes by accounting for their actual visual balance rather than just geometry. The document provides an algorithm for optical alignment using JavaScript and math formulas to calculate centroids. It also discusses existing solutions for optical alignment in tools like Photoshop and Sketch and libraries like D3.js.

React all the things - Milos Popovic

This document discusses converting templates to React JSX. It begins by describing the current state of using Dust templates and MVC views. It then explains copying template code into view files and replacing template functions with JSX as an initial way to start converting to React. Further improvements discussed include using the ratt library to parse templates and the dust2jsx library for more complete AST parsing of Dust templates to convert them to JSX. The document concludes by mentioning how to implement the converted templates by changing file extensions and wrapping the output in a render function.
