Title: Inclusive Connected Futures: Editorial introduction to special section on "Envisioning Inclusive Futures"
Format: Journal Article

Description:

This special issue comprises papers and findings from the Rehabilitation Engineering Research Center for Wireless Technologies (Wireless RERC) State of Technology (SoT) Summit: Envisioning Inclusive Futures 2015. The purpose of the summit was to conceptualize the liberating value of wireless technologies in facilitating the ability of peopoe with disabilities to engage in life activities. The event utilized a “Futures Thinking” approach as a departure from the traditional assessment of the state of the science and associated presentation of findings common in the field. This “thinking” gravitated toward possible systems of accessibility, rather than on aspects of the individual user, the technology, the context, or a single design factor.
