AccessibilityThe computer should be accessible to everyone who chooses to use it. There are likely to be members of your target audience who are different from the "average" user that you envision. Users will undoubtedly vary in their ages, styles, and abilities. They may also have physical or cognitive limitations, linguistic differences, or other differences you need to consider. Identify how the individuals in your target audience differ and what special needs they may have.Make it easy for users to interact with your product using different input devices and output devices. If you develop specialized hardware and software for people with physical limitations, work with application developers so that your products are supported by their software. Make your application accessible to people around the world by including support for worldwide capabilities in your designs from the beginning of your development process. Take stock of the cultural and linguistic needs and expectations of your target audiences. For more information, see the section "Worldwide Compatibility" beginning on page 16 in Chapter 2, "General Design Considerations." More information about universal access appears throughout the book where appropriate. For specific information, see the section "Universal Access" beginning on page 23 in Chapter 2, "General Design Considerations."
