"This is another busy day in the Kingdom of circles. In the capital of this highly modernised country, residents have access to the most advanced automatic facilities for their working or leisure life. But things can be tricky, if someone differs, even slightly, from the normality… ..."
It may seem ridiculous that in the kingdom of circles, the whole infrastructure is exclusively designed for circles when there are other types of user involved.
Yet when we think about our own world, do we not recognize the similarities
of the situations? That some public facilities are only accessible for the “normal” majority while our society is much more diverse than the one in the video?
Diverse users
Single Access & Facility
The current situation is far from ideal. Although a few adjustments have been put into place in order to cater to the minority, the sad truth is that there is still a large gap where many people are struggling to perform their basic human rights. So how can we possibly achieve accessibility for all?
More laws that guarantee people’s attention?
A new technology which adjusts to its user?
Education that teaches people about empathy?
They could all (not) be the answer. We don't know yet.
But one thing is for sure now:
Before we figure out a solution, we shall never stop talking and thinking about it.
