Alwar Pillai:残疾人是全球最大的未开发消费群体。科技公司在无障碍性和多样性上的投资带来了更高的盈利回报。通过正确地服务残疾人,企业可以建立最强大、最忠诚的客户基础。目前的产品开发方式存在缺陷,因为大多数团队成员都是健全人,他们设计的体验往往忽略了残疾人的需求。简单的UI设计可能会导致数字隔离和数字鸿沟。企业应该积极投资无障碍技术,这不仅符合法律法规,更能拓展用户基础,避免诉讼风险。 Fable致力于将残疾人的声音融入产品开发流程,帮助企业构建更具包容性的产品。我们提供在线的残疾人用户反馈服务,并提供定制化的培训,帮助企业实践包容性产品开发。通过‘aha时刻’分享,我们帮助产品团队亲眼看到残疾人使用产品时的困难,从而激发他们改进产品的动力。我们帮助企业将无障碍性实践融入其流程中,例如要求所有研究都包含来自残疾群体的见解。 我们引入了可访问性可用性量表(AUS),以量化衡量产品的可用性,帮助企业摆脱对合规性的过度依赖。我们与残疾人测试者社区的合作影响了我们的产品设计、方法论和团队建设。我们不建议客户使用特定的功能,而是提供来自残疾群体的见解,帮助客户做出更明智的决策。 未来,AI技术既可能加剧数字鸿沟,也可能促进个性化和无障碍性发展。我们应该确保AI模型的训练包含包容性的数据集。无障碍性设计可以带来意想不到的创新,惠及更广泛的用户群体。残疾可以是永久的、暂时的或情境的,企业应该针对最困难的情况进行设计,从而惠及所有人。 产品开发中常见的偏见包括移除视觉提示,认为无障碍体验不美观等。一些公司在平衡美观性和无障碍性方面做得很好,例如Microsoft和Apple。构建包容性团队至关重要,包容性文化能够带来更具包容性的产品体验。 Lauren Wood:采访了Fable的CEO兼联合创始人Alwar Pillai,讨论了无障碍性在技术中的重要性以及构建包容性产品所面临的挑战。探讨了设计在无障碍性中的作用以及包容性设计对用户体验的影响。Alwar强调了无障碍性的竞争优势以及服务全球最大未开发消费者群体(残疾人)的重要性。
