Design for All: Catering for Culturally Diverse Users

Year: 2016

Type: preprint

Abstract: Due to mass global migration and increased usage of the Internet, it is now very important to address the cultural aspects of the usability problems of any Information and Communication Technology (ICT) products such as software, websites or applications (apps) whether to be used on PCs, Laptops, Smartphones, Tablets, Smart TVs or any other devices. To augment the “Design for All” concept, this research demonstrates the need to cater for culturally diverse users while designing user interfaces. This has been achieved, by investigating ICT products and conducting an extensive literature survey. The study concludes that it is very important to work on cross-cultural usability problems and bring these issues under focus.
