People Come in Many Sizes
An installation built for an average adult can be out of reach for children and awkward for tall visitors. Good design considers the whole range.
Design Points
Measure and test with real people rather than relying on a single figure. We apply these checks in our public installations.
- Screen height — usable from standing and seated positions
- Reach range — controls within comfortable arm distance
- Sensor zones — detect small and tall people alike
- Knee space — room for wheelchair users to approach
- Viewing angle — avoid glare and awkward neck positions
Designing for everyone? We offer free consultations on accessible installations... Let's discuss your design →
Offer Adjustments
Where one height will not suit everyone, offer two interaction points, an adjustable mount or a phone-based alternative.
Check Accessibility Guidance
Standards give recommended dimensions for accessible design. This is general information, so check current guidance for your setting. Agencies planning public installations can talk to us via our partnership programme.
