<H2>About the event</H2>
In your experiences, what barriers do you (inadvertently) create and who do they exclude? Before designing the Xbox Adaptive Controller, the team behind it needed to recognize the barriers that traditional controllers create for people with limited mobility. We take you through the inclusive design principles we use at Microsoft, and how they were used to create the Xbox Adaptive Controller. You'll also come away with tips on how you can remove unnecessary friction from your experiences and design more for inclusion.
