Delevopment and innovation

For people with disabilities, Information Technology represents a two-edged sword. On the one hand, IT offers new possibilities, when IT is used to create access to otherwise inaccessible information and systems. It can be the case for technology promoting new teaching methods. Also, many new technologies features functions that make them applicable as assistive technology.


On the other hand, IT often brings about new barriers. As an example, people who are visually impaired or print impaired are often facing great difficulties in accessing digital catalogues. Likewise, many ticket- and information-systems are unusable for people who cannot see. Furthermore, many websites hosted by public authorities necessitate that the end-users are able to select menu options by means of a mouse. Accordingly, people who are visually impaired, spastic, suffer from repetitive strain injuries or motile disabilities are frequently having difficulties in accessing public websites.

Sensus perception of innovation is based on the following principles:

  • We are constantly on the outlook for new technologies, which can be applied in creating a more accessible and inclusive information society.  
  • We are always doing our best to challenge ourselves, our customers and our partners to find new ways of deploying existing technologies, which creates new opportunities and improves the digital accessibility. >
  • We have the assumption that it is possible to embed new information technology with the purpose of making inaccessible information systems better and more accessible.
