“The CUD conducts original research to learn what design solutions are appropriate for the widest diversity of users, and what tools are most useful to practitioners wishing to successfully practice universal design.”Universal Design Principles/Guidelines:
- Make the design appealing to all users
- Facilitate the user's accuracy and precision
- Arrange elements to minimize hazards and errors: most used elements, most accessible; hazardous elements eliminated, isolated, or shielded
- Provide warnings of hazards and errors
- Provide fail safe features
- Discourage unconscious action in tasks that require vigilance
- Allow user to maintain a neutral body position
- Use reasonable operating forces
- Minimize sustained physical effort
