Disability interactions (DIX) is a new approach to combining
cross-disciplinary methods and theories from Human Computer
Interaction (HCI), disability studies, assistive technology, and
social development to co-create new technologies, experiences, and
ways of working with disabled people. DIX focuses on the
interactions people have with their technologies and the
interactions which result because of technology use. A central
theme of the approach is to tackle complex issues where disability
problems are part of a system that does not have a simple solution.
Therefore, DIX pushes researchers and practitioners to take a
challenge-based approach, which enables both applied and basic
research to happen alongside one another. DIX complements other
frameworks and approaches that have been developed within HCI
research and beyond. Traditional accessibility approaches are
likely to focus on specific aspects of technology design and use
without considering how features of large-scale assistive
technology systems might influence the experiences of people with
disabilities. DIX aims to embrace complexity from the start, to
better translate the work of accessibility and assistive technology
research into the real world. DIX also has a stronger focus on
user-centered and participatory approaches across the whole value
chain of technology, ensuring we design with the full system of
technology in mind (from conceptualization and development to
large-scale distribution and access). DIX also helps to acknowledge
that solutions and approaches are often non-binary and that
technologies and interactions that deliver value to disabled people
in one situation can become a hindrance in a different context.
Therefore, it offers a more nuanced guide to designing within the
disability space, which expands the more traditional
problem-solving approaches to designing for accessibility. This
book explores why such a novel approach is needed and gives case
studies of applications highlighting how different areas of
focus-from education to health to work to global development-can
benefit from applying a DIX perspective. We conclude with some
lessons learned and a look ahead to the next 60 years of DIX.
