Devices + accessories + augmentations

Bryce will guide you through a new extension of the Microsoft Inclusive Design methods, focusing on creating devices that are not just accessible but truly flexible systems for those with disabilities.

In this session, Bryce will discuss the essential role of inclusive design practices and introduce a hardware toolkit designed to help you craft hardware that seamlessly blends digital and physical experiences. Bryce will show you how to approach product design through the lens of Devices + Accessories + Augmentations to better meet the diverse needs of all users. Join Bryce to learn how you can make your designs more inclusive and adaptive!

This session is for you if you're an industrial designer, or a digital designer, interested in how people interact with products in different ways. Whether you're working in physical or digital spaces, this session will help you think about interaction as a spectrum rather than a fixed model. You don’t need to be an expert in inclusive design – just curious about how designing for a range of user needs can lead to more thoughtful, flexible experiences.

Got some juicy gossip?

We’d love to hear it (and any other questions, wishes or suggestions you have).
