Have recent announcements from the US federal government shifted our
focus toward the idea of "compliance" to regulations rather than
striving for a UI that includes everyone?
In this talk, we will take a look at the current state of user interface design, present recent government initiatives and hopes to spark conversation about universal design and get your input.
Austin UPA hosts Sharron Rush, the co-founder and Executive Director of Knowbility, a nonprofit organization that grew from the first Accessibility Internet Rally (AIR) in Austin in 1998. Sharron believes strongly in the power of technology to support the independence of people with disabilities – and in the value of dynamic, ongoing collaboration to strengthen communities.
EVENT DETAILS
When: Tuesday, August 3, 2010
Where: Texas Coworking, 200 E. 6th Street (3rd Floor of the Hannig Row Building), directly above B.D. Riley's Pub
