We’re proud to share the first academic publication funded in the context of the InclusiveSpaces project, authored by our partner, the University of Peloponnese. The paper, "Multidisciplinary ML Techniques on Gesture Recognition for People with Disabilities in a Smart Home Environment," explores how gesture recognition can support older adults and people in vulnerable situation in performing daily tasks. This research aligns with InclusiveSpaces’ mission to create inclusive, accessible, and climate-adaptive urban environments through innovative, user-centered solutions. By investigating practical methods like MoveNet and CNN, the study demonstrates how smart home technologies can empower users to perform tasks such as turning lights on or signaling for assistance using simple gestures. 🔗 Read the full paper here: https://lnkd.in/eybQWfFR #EU #HorizonEU #Transport #EUClimate #NewEuropeanBauhaus #EUFunded #EuGreenDeal CINEA - European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency

Co-funded by the European Union, the InclusiveSpaces project aims to make urban spaces more inclusive and accessible, by promoting the involvement of people in vulnerable situations to the built environment around them. Our partner TOBEA is developing innovative solutions like the Mover iSEATRAC and iKiosk to help people with mobility challenges enjoy the beach. TOBEA's Mover iSEATRAC is a solar-powered system that allows anyone to independently enter and exit the water, while the iKiosk acts as a support station, offering mobility aids like wheelchairs and charging points. In a recent interview, TOBEA's president Ignatios Fotiou shared more about the inspiration behind the technologies, how they work, and TOBEA's commitment to inclusivity.

Yesterday was the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, and this year, the aim was to amplify the leadership of persons with disabilities for an inclusive and sustainable future. The slogan “Nothing About Us Without Us” encapsulates the importance of co-design and co-creation, which guides the guides the work of the InclusiveSpaces project. Triple Tread Limited, a key project partner, exemplifies this approach by designing tricycles with an innovative and patented technology, informed by the needs and feedback of people in vulnerable situations. Founder Mark Harrison’s personal experiences and commitment to universal design are a perfect example of how leadership from within the disability community can inspire inclusive innovation.

InclusiveSpaces is transforming urban spaces into more inclusive environments that prioritize the needs of all people—especially those in vulnerable situations. Through collaborative work with project partners like National Technical University of Athens and MaaSLab, InclusiveSpaces is creating a vital baseline of knowledge about these diverse needs, starting with in-depth interviews and local engagement. In a recent interview, Dr. Floridea Di Ciommo, director of cambiaMO | changing mobility, shared how the project’s unique “Design-for-All” methodology considers everything from user-centered design to assistive technology. This approach enables InclusiveSpaces to tackle common barriers—whether it’s improving beach access with iSEATRAC or promoting inclusive cycling options—making spaces accessible to a broad spectrum of users.
