Inclusive design addresses among other things the needs of particularly vulnerable user groups. Through this, concepts are developed that are beneficial for a much wider range of users by incorporating additional sense and creating more holistic experiences. Alexandra Verdeil is a specialist for inclusive design at tactile studios. In this episode, we discuss the specific paradigms, methods and goals of inclusive design taking tactile studio’s projects as examples. We have a look at various applications and challenges and deep dive into tactile studio’s speciality – museum and exhibition design.
