Here are the Microsoft Principles of Inclusive Design

Recognize exclusion
Exclusion happens when we solve problems using our own biases. As Microsoft designers, we seek out those exclusions, and use them as opportunities to create new ideas and inclusive designs.

Learn from diversity
Human beings are the real experts in adapting to diversity. Inclusive design puts people in the center from the very start of the process, and those fresh, diverse perspectives are the key to true insight.

Solve for one, extend to many
Everyone has abilities, and limits to those abilities. Designing for people with permanent disabilities actually results in designs that benefit people universally. Constraints are a beautiful thing.

The Principles of Inclusive Design and the Xbox Adaptive Controller

Recognize exclusion
Our traditional game controller is optimized around a primary use case that makes assumptions about its use. We recognized that when someone can’t use our controller as it was designed - it is the barrier.

Learn from diversity
We have engaged across the gaming accessibility community and were given insight not only into the functionality of the device, what it enables, but how the form of the device reflects on the user.

Solve for one, extend to many
We looked at many unique cases in people’s ambulatory ability as well as their situation – Gamer, CareGiver, Maker. The Xbox Adaptive Controller allows people to build a controller that fits them.
