User experience (UX) design refers to the design of the visitor experience for digital communication tools such as websites or applications. There are few limits to creativity. The technical possibilities for creating appealing and even multisensory experiences are constantly expanding. But what about accessibility in order to include people with impairments equally?
Astrid Weber is User Experience Manager at Google and thus responsible for product inclusion and equity. In a short input presentation, she will show her strategies to achieve accessibility at Google.
Afterwards, René Jaun (Editor Netzwoche) and Lucia Terrenghi (Director, UX Design YouTube) will discuss what needs to be achieved and for whom, with the involvement of the audience. René Jaun is confronted with the topic of accessibility both professionally and privately due to his blindness.
