Empathic engineering design for accessibility for deaf curling athletes

Written by
McLeod and Friesen have developed a team-based design course for computer engineering students, built on the principles of empathic design and focused on accessibility for deaf curling athletes

Deaf curling athletes are particularly disadvantaged as they rely on visual cues for their sweeping commands rather than audible ones. Professor Bob McLeod and Professor Marcia Friesen, from the University of Manitoba in Canada, have developed a team-based engineering design course for computer engineering students, built on the principles of empathic design and design for accessibility. Students form design groups […]
