About
The Inclusive Design Lab at the University of Washington is an interdisciplinary set of researchers focusing on making the next generation of computing accessible to everyone. We employ a mix of qualitative and quantitative methods to study existing practices, create new technologies to address gaps and challenges, and evaluate those innovations. Founded in 2012 at the University of Maryland, the Inclusive Design Lab moved to UW in 2017.
