Internal Access Conflict
Also known as: Conflicting Access Needs
A situation where a single individual's different access needs contradict or undermine each other, making it impossible to fully accommodate all needs simultaneously. For example, a person with chronic illness may benefit from remote meetings to avoid physical exertion, but the shaky video feeds in those same meetings may trigger motion sickness. Internal access conflicts differ from interpersonal access conflicts between different people and highlight the need for highly customizable, multi-modal technology that allows users to selectively address competing needs.
