The Taskar Center for Accessible Technology – Designing for the fullness of human experience
Designing for the Fullness of Human Experience
TCAT is a research and translation center, working on open-source technology to develop, translate, and deploy accessible technologies, and then sustain them in the hands of communities. Housed by the Paul G. Allen School for Computer Science & Engineering, TCAT centers the experience of people with disabilities as a lens for improving design & engineering, through participatory design practices, tooling and capacity building.
