INCLUSIVE PATHWAYS. Philosophies, principles and experimentation for an inclusive control system_ rotational contact peripheral [repositionable].

"The essay proposes the definition of “inclusive pathways” starting with the principles that encourage the creation, management and implementation of design processes that can promote the product and create the necessary convergence of various disciplines such as ergonomics, multisensory aspects, the social and economic sciences, and other fields. In a world where everything has become rapid and complex, it is important to construct a real condition of well-being in which each one can feel included and essential, like a true active part of the community through the creation and development of products that can be accessed, enjoyed and used by the greatest possible number of people. Using an “inclusive” method as a starting point it has been possible to identify new inclusive design pathways that are centred on the human being as a physical, psychological, social and emotional entity in relation to environmental, instrumental and organisational conditions, working through the synergy of various types of signals and languages of identification that are also supported by sensations. These “inclusive pathways” have led to the design experimentation of an inclusive control system_rotational contact peripheral [repositionable] developed by a multidisciplinary research team at IDEAS. The system was designed to meet the needs of as many individuals as possible in their specificity, starting with the conscious use of an analysis of human needs and aspirations. "
