BlueSky Designs applies ergonomics and universal design to develop products that address the needs of people with and without disabilities -- at work, at play, and at home. The resulting products make activities easier for and more accessible to everyone. In 2002, Blue Sky Designs began to focus on product development. The company has expertise in: Universal Design - designing products and environments so they are easier to use by a broader segment of the population; Ergonomic Design - designing equipment to fit the person and the task, reducing physical demands; Assistive Technology - technology which assists people with disabilities in doing something. The company is active in research involving needs assessments, focus groups, market research, existing technology research and assessment, and usability testing of products and prototypes. The company's products include technology to aid people with disabilities in boarding watercraft, the mount'n mover wheelchair mounting system (www.mountnmover.com), an accessible tent, an ergonomic chair for gardening, and a switch activated spinner that allows people with disabilities to play games with dice.
