Abstract

In this paper, we describe how aspects on usability may be explored in interviews with people from the disabled community. By using Future Workshops and ethnographical studies to get a user perspective on how new technology could be an aid for people who are usually restricted by immobility. How to make access to places and information at locations out of physical reach possible and let all of us take an active part in the modern society. With those means we explore what is possible to do in the present situation, and what would be desirable to do in the future. We have many interesting proposals on what would be valuable technical aids. Extending these with ethnographical studies of the perceived user groups, those ideas where further developed.
