The project includes intersecting research and development tracks. The development track aims to create an accessible, open-source set of tools that researchers and designers can use to develop and test AAC user interfaces. These tools are combined in a web-based platform called the Open-Source Design and Programmer Interface (OS-DPI) and situated for use within an inclusive Project Open Design Community. Benefits of open-source models to support innovation through collaboration among stakeholders, particularly in the early stages of design work, are reviewed.
