This project focused on iteration. The design challenge was adjusted slightly every week to make the design process more challenging. First the assignment was to bring people together through an interactive solution. We then had to choose a potential limitation during design and in the last week we could choose to improve the user experience (UX). The user interface (UI) had to be developed from week 2 and be accessible for the chosen disability.
I believe that designers (as long as they are not limited by their client) can create their own have control over the extent to which they can make their product available for certain minorities, again, if they have this freedom.
Unfortunately, we live in a society that is focused on money, and designing for the 0.28% of the Netherlands that is completely blind is unfortunately not the one most commercially sensible choices. So it felt like a waste of time and effort to make something that accounts for those 0.28% of people knowing that applying the knowledge gained from it will likely never happen.
