The present article analyzes the possibility of introducing principles of universal design into the design process of objects, the designs of which provide for the presence of light elements. Compliance with the principles of universal design will allow to fill the environment with more sophisticated design objects that will be convenient and accessible to people regardless of their features. At the same time, the designer often uses a light, or light medium in his work. Light environment can be considered the configuration of light fluxes and objects creating them, transmitting, reflecting and scattering. Such objects can be both of artificial and natural origin. If we consider questions of the interaction of light medium with objects and their aggregates (we can talk both about objects that serve as a source of light and about objects interacting with light), then we can talk about the object-light medium.

This chapter presents the research, development, and findings of a communication technology developed to enable older adults living in retirement communities to share public events. The project draws reference from the fields of industrial design, universal design, and computer science to design a technology for residents at a retirement community. Residents were included in the design process by evaluating designed technologies. This study demonstrates the relevance of designing simple yet innovative technologies that meet the needs of older adults.
