Success criteria
Universal design (the physical world), name the 7 principles
- Equitable use
- Flexibility in use
- Simple and intuitive use
- Perceptible information
- Tolerance of error
- Low physical effort
- Size and space for approach and use
Universal design (the physical world), what principle is this:
The design is useful and marketable to people with diverse abilities
Equitable use
Universal design (the physical world), what principle is this:
The design accommodates a wide range of individual preferences and abilities
Flexibility in use
Universal design (the physical world), what principle is this:
Use of the design is easy to understand, regardless of user’s experience, knowledge, language skills, or current concentration level
Simple and intuitive
Universal design (the physical world), what principle is this:
The design communicates necessary information effectively to the user, regardless of ambient conditons or the user’s sensory abilites.
Perceptible information
Universal design (the physical world), what principle is this:
The design minimizes hazards and the adverse consequences of accidental or unintended actions
Tolerance for error
Universal design (the physical world), what principle is this:
The design can be used efficiently and comfortably and with a minimum of fatigue
Low physical effort
Universal design (the physical world), what principle is this:
Appropriate size and space is provided for approach, reach, manipulation and use regardless of user’s body size, posture, or mobility
Size and Space for Approach and Use
Guidelines for Universal Design (physical) - name the right principle:
- Provide a clear line of sight to important elements for any seated or standing user
- Make reach to all components comfortable for any seated or standing user
- Accommodate variations in hand and grip size
- Provide adequate space for the use of assistive devices or personal assistance
Size and space for approach and use
Guidelines for Universal Design (physical) - name the right principle:
- Allow user to maintain a neutral body position
- Use reasonable operating forces
- Minimize repetitive actions
- Minimize sustained physical effort
Low physical effort
Guidelines for Universal Design (physical) - name the right principle:
- Arrange elements to minimize hazards and errors: most used elements, most accessible; hazardous elements, isolated, or shielded
- Provide warnings of hazards and errors
- Provide fail safe features
- Discourage unconscious action in tasks that require vigilance
Tolerance for error
Guidelines for Universal Design (physical) - name the right principle:
- Use different modes (pictoral, verbal, tactile) for redundant presentation of essential information
- Provide adequate contrast between essential information and it’s surroundings
- Maximize “legibility” of essential information
- Differentiate elements in ways that can be described (i.e. make it easy to give instructions or directions)
- Provide compatibility with a variety of techniques or devices used by people with sensory limitations
Perceptible information
Guidelines for Universal Design (physical) - name the right principle:
- Eliminate unnecessary complexity
- Be consistent with user expectations and intuition
- Accommodate a wide range of literacy and language skills
- Arrange information consistent with it’s importance
- Provide effective prompting and feedback during and after task completion
Simple and intuitive use
Guidelines for Universal Design (physical) - name the right principle:
- Provide choice in methods of use
- Accommodate right- or left-handed access and use
- Facilitate the user’s accuracy and precision
- Provide adaptability to the user’s pace
Flexibility in use
Guidelines for Universal Design (physical) - name the right principle:
- Provide the same means of use for all users: identical whenever possible; equivalent when not
- Avoid segregating or stigmatizing any users
- Provisions for privacy, security, and safety should be equally available to all users
- Make the design appealing to all users
