Best Paper
The Role of Flow Experience in Co-Designing Open-Design Assistive Devices

Best Poster
ColorADD® Colour Identification System for Colour-Blind People
By Miguel Neiva (Portugal)

Citation: 'This poster highlights a hidden disability that affects large sections of society. An elegant, simple but very effective solution to colour blindness with user need right at the centre.'

Best Inclusive Design Innovation
Co-Creating Tools for Touch
By Wendy Keay-Bright and Joel Gethin Lewis (UK)
