<b>“Accessibility IS innovation” </b><br><br>People often think that using the time to make something accessible, it stops them from being able to respond quickly and be innovative and hence competitive. Being innovative in order to solve an accessibility need, often produces incredible advancements for us all to enjoy – it prods us to be innovative!<br><br>Eye tracking technology came about because of the need for people to control a computer if they couldn’t use a mouse or keyboard. We now use this software to study how people interact with websites – where they look first, how long they linger on a feature etc. to improve our ability to sell products or services. It might not have eventuated if it hadn’t been needed for accessibility. <br><br>When you create a technology that is often urgently needed for a person with a disability, it gives all users a unique method to interact with the device or software. You give people options, and those options lead to innovation. We will examine how designing for accessibility often leads to innovating new products and methods.
