Key-problems of barrier-free design and deficiencies of traditional usability engineering approaches as well as of existing engineering platforms are analysed. Evolution of technologies that support design and production of complex interactive software-hardware systems is presented. Practical steps towards integration of pure engineering technology-driven and usability engineering driven approaches are discussed.
