Blue team 1
On October 9 – 10, 2012, the Center hosted a workshop on Lifetime Community Districts, gathering both professionals and people with disabilities to talk about community design with all ages and abilities in mind. These videos are of the two groups of people with disabilities who went on a “walkabout” in a Bloomington neighborhood to spot the design flaws that would keep people from fully utilizing the neighborhood. Their observations are keen and enlightening.

Mirror’s Edge Part 9: Umbrella and Apple team up… at the mall!
Mirror’s Edge is a game about…parkour, in the first person! So that makes it exciting! Let’s not remember the dumb story, awkward controls, and sometimes stupid game design. But hey, it’s unique and different, so at least it has that.
