Dear Niamh,

 

We are working with the National Disability Authority to develop a set of technical guidelines on the ‘Universal Design of In-Home Displays’ in Ireland. To give you a bit of background, we are currently testing a selection of In-Home Displays (products that measure how much energy is used and much it costs in homes). Essentially we want to determine what works well and what doesn’t in current designs. This research will guide the development of technical guidelines by the National Disability Authority to ensure that In-Home Displays are designed in line with universal design principles so that they are easy to be used by everyone; as part of the national rollout of In-Home Displays between 2014-2019.

 

Are you, or can recommend any person who would be willing to take part in usability testing for one hour on the on Wednesday 21^st or Thursday 22^nd of November in DCU? In return for your help in testing what works well and what doesn’t in the current design of in-home displays we will give you wine and chocolate to say thank you for your valuable input.

 

It is critical that the development of these is based on the experience of end users of all abilities. We are looking for willing participants with no vision under the age of 30 years to use these digital interfaces.

 

We would greatly appreciate any assistance that you could provide and look forward to hearing back from you.

 

Best Regards,

Eilís
