Industry & Consumer Outreach/Education (T1)

The overall purpose of this project is to advance awareness among industry and consumers on usability and accessibility issues, and available solutions, to improve use of wireless products and services by people with disabilities.   The objectives of this project are to:

State of Technology Conference (T2)

The overall purpose of this project is to disseminate research findings, build consensus and develop strategies to ensure that people with disabilities will have access to the wireless technologies and services of tomorrow.  We are currently undergoing major transformations in communication technology and usage.  As software applications and data storage move from the device to the cloud and as Internet Protocol-based modes of communication become favored over traditional telemetry, some legacy technology may survive through migration to higher functionality devices and convergence.

Building Research Capacity (T3)

The overall purpose of this project is to educate the next generation of wireless technology designers on universal design as a core practice for innovative and future design of products and applications.

The specific objectives of the project are to:
