The most unique feature of the technology is the ability to set each pin to different heights, which enables the display of topographical maps and other graphical elements such as shades and color represented as varying heights of pins that can be readily sensed by the user's fingers: http://www.orbitresearch.com/orbit-research-introduces-the-graphiti-interactive-tactile-graphic-display/ 7) PeopleLens: Using AI To Support Social Interaction Between Children Who Are Blind And Their Peers This is a use for augmentative reality (AR) to help blind children learn more about social interactions: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/blog/peoplelens-using-ai-to-support-social-interaction-between-children-who-are-blind-and-their-peers/ 8) Listen To A Sound-Enhanced Broadcast Of Sunday Morning's Australian Open Men's Final From Action Audio Two weeks ago, we wrote about Action Audio's attempts to make sport more accessible to visually impaired fans. Blind Bargains has more information: https://www.blindbargains.com/bargains.php?m=22168 9) Field Of Vision Brings Sports In Real Time To Visually Impaired Fans And, Field of Vision, an Irish company hopes to bring more accessible spectatorship to football (soccer in The U.S.) fans. Cool Blind tech has the story: https://coolblindtech.com/field-of-vision-brings-sports-in-real-time-to-visually-impaired-fans/ 10) Company Develops Illumie For Blind And Visually Impaired People To Navigate While poking around the Cool Blind Tech website, we found a story about another object detection device to assist with navigation: https://coolblindtech.com/company-develops-illumie-for-blind-and-visually-impaired-people-to-navigate/ 11) Axe-Con, Building Accessible Experiences You can still gain access to materials from the Axe-Con conference by registering and viewing the archives: https://www.deque.com/axe-con/ 12) Microsoft Edge Can Now Auto-Generate Image Descriptions, Improving Accessibility Microsoft Edge now has auto-generated image labels. What this means is Edge will ensure that screen readers can describe the contents of images even when those images don't have alt text included. For blind or otherwise visually impaired users who want to know the contents of an image but can't see it, this tool should help: https://www.windowscentral.com/microsoft-edge-can-now-auto-generate-image-descriptions-improving-accessibility 13) NV Access In-Process March 21st 2022 https://www.nvaccess.org/post/in-process-march-21st-2022/ 14) Foundations: Landmarks Most websites have common areas of content like a header and footer, a main content area, and one or more navigation blocks. Sighted people can identify these areas based on the way they're styled and the content they contain, but people who are blind cannot do that quite as efficiently. Landmarks, like headings, offer screen reader users a more comparable experience for identifying and navigating between these areas of content: https://tetralogical.com/blog/2022/03/18/landmarks/ 15) Could This Virtual 'Guide Dog' Help the Visually Impaired? The new technology, developed at MIT, was designed to process 3-D camera data, and could help visually impaired patients navigate the world using an innovatively designed braille interface: https://www.mddionline.com/digital-health/could-virtual-guide-dog-help-visually-impaired 16) Disabled IT Professionals Are Building Access For Themselves For visually impaired developers, the tools just aren't good enough — so they're taking matters into their own hands: https://www.itpro.co.uk/business-strategy/careers-training/367131/disabled-it-professionals-building-access ➜ Press Releases and Other News 1) I'm Blind But I'm Scared People Think I'm Lying 35-year-old Kay Haines suffers from Stargardt disease, a rare genetic eye disease that causes progressive vision loss: https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/newport-mum-registered-blind-vision-23326257 2) Accessibility Is An Opportunity For Multi-Sensory Delight Accessibility is now thought of as essential — but too often it remains a late-stage box-ticking exercise. Piotr Wisniewski, creative director at Admind, argues that accessibility shouldn't be thought of as a mere requirement, but an opportunity to expand the experience your brand can offer into new sensory realms: https://www.thedrum.com/opinion/2022/03/18/accessibility-opportunity-multi-sensory-delight 3) Justice Department Issues Web Accessibility Guidance Under The Americans With Disabilities Act In its preamble, the Department of Justice (DOJ) writes, Inaccessible web content means that people with disabilities are denied equal access to information. An inaccessible website can exclude people just as much as steps at an entrance to a physical location. Ensuring web accessibility for people with disabilities is a priority for the Department of Justice. In recent years, a multitude of services have moved online, and people rely on websites like never for all aspects of daily living. For example, accessing voting information, finding up-to-date health and safety resources, and looking up mass transit schedules and fare information increasingly depend on having access to websites: https://beta.ada.gov/web-guidance/ 4) Why We Should Be Disappointed By DOJ's Web Accessibility Guidance Ken Nakata has a slightly more pessimistic view of the effect the guidance will have: https://convergeaccessibility.com/2022/03/22/why-we-should-be-disappointed-by-dojs-web-accessibility-guidance/ 5) Web Accessibility Claims Put Institutions Of Higher Learning At Risk Rounding out some coverage on legal aspects of accessibility, The National Law Review has an article related to institutions of higher education: https://www.natlawreview.com/article/web-accessibility-claims-put-institutions-higher-learning-risk 6) Lawsuit To Force Chicago To Retrofit Intersections For Vision-Impaired Pedestrians Advances Chicago's dearth of accessible signals is "a huge pain in the ass," says legally blind artist and musician Andy Slater: https://chicagoreader.com/columns-opinion/on-transportation/lawsuit-to-force-chicago-to-retrofit-intersections-for-vision-impaired-pedestrians-advances/ 7) SXSW: Company Using AR To Help People With Visual Impairments The creators behind illumie say they hope to bridge the gap between using a mobility aid and understanding what's actually out in the world around people who have trouble seeing: https://www.kxan.com/news/sxsw/using-ar-to-help-people-with-visual-impairments/ 8) Emerging Sensor Technology Aids Blind And Visually Impaired Pedestrians A new patented technology from Intelligent Material Solutions, Inc. is designed to help pedestrians who are blind and visually impaired navigate busy sidewalks and avoid sidewalk hazards. The sensor tech uses a cooperative guidance system to determine walkers' precise geolocation and guide them to public transportation, retail entrances, sidewalk exits and other locations: https://www.americancityandcounty.com/2022/03/18/emerging-sensor-technology-aids-blind-and-visually-impaired-pedestrians/ 9) BlindShell Phones Get Expanded Reach in the U.S. with Newly-formed BlindShell USA Fresh off the successful launch of the second edition of the BlindShell Classic cell phone, the company is expanding its presence in the United States: https://www.blindbargains.com/bargains.php?m=22175 10) Blind and Low-Vision Viewers Care About Screen Style — So Why Does Audio Description Skip It? "Emily scurries across the street wearing a short green coat." That's the vague audio description given to blind and low-vision viewers for one of Lily Collins's first outfits in the season two opener of the hit Netflix series "Emily in Paris." Unsurprisingly, what Emily is actually wearing is much more exciting. After an awkward exchange with her neighbor and love interest, Gabriel, Emily hurries off to work in a colorful, striped Versace polo and a Mugler blue-green miniskirt. It's paired with a bold green belt and strappy heels, then layered with a green Elie Saab jacket: https://www.popsugar.com/fashion/how-audio-description-fails-to-address-fashion-48753035 11) Adobe UX Designer Lauren Dest Talks Building 'Design Decoder' Software That Makes Shopping More Accessible For The Color Blind At its Summit 2022 conference this week, San Jose-based Adobe showed off a preview of its Project Design Decoder. It's software that, according to the company, uses artificial intelligence and machine learning in order to help make shopping experiences more accessible and inclusive. The tool is designed for people with conditions such as color vision deficiency, colloquially known as color blindness, who have difficulties perceiving patterns. Color blindness affects more than 300 million people worldwide: https://www.forbes.com/sites/stevenaquino/2022/03/16/adobe-ux-designer-lauren-dest-talks-building-design-decoder-software-that-makes-shopping-more-accessible-for-the-color-blind/?sh=3be7fac1615d 12) New Framework To Boost Education Of Children With Vision Impairment The University of Birmingham along with major Vision impairment organisations have launched a new single unifying framework to underpin the specialist education of children and young people with VI: https://www.birmingham.ac.uk/news/2022/new-framework-to-boost-education-of-children-with-vision-impairment 13) People Who Are Blind May Use The Brain's Visual Cortex For Movement The brain's visual cortex may be reorganised to control movement in people who cannot see: https://www.newscientist.com/article/2312662-people-who-are-blind-may-use-the-brains-visual-cortex-for-movement/ ➜ Surveys 1) Survey | Help Writers, Editors, Designers And Publishers To Publish Books That Are More Accessible | Human Research Ethics Committee of the University of Sydney, Australia March 31st 2022 deadline to submit.

Creating and maintaining an accessible website can be a daunting proposition for many businesses for several reasons: They aren't aware of the magnitude of how much remediation may be needed for their own website and aren't sure how to start assessing this. They have limited resources to devote to accessibility-related activities. They are not interested or unable to pay for expensive accessibility monitoring and testing software that caters to enterprise organizations. If you have found yourself reluctant to dip your toe into digital accessibility because of one or more of these reasons, you're not alone! But TPGi is here to offer you a solution. In this webinar, Charlie Pike, Platform Success Lead at TPGi, will show you exactly how any size business can quickly start Phase I of an accessibility program with ARC without spending a lot of money. Attendees will learn how they can assess the scope of their business's accessibility responsibilities, start with prioritized small changes that have a big impact, and pay for only what they use. Charlie will also debunk myths about accessibility (e.g., it's all or nothing, there's no benefit to the company, it's only possible and really necessary for large enterprise organizations, etc.) https://www.tpgi.com/webinar-march-30-at-12pm-et-how-any-organization-can-start-small-but-deliver-big-with-accessibility/ 5) Grocery Delivery Services and Websites | Technology User Group April 9th 2022 | 7AM PT, 8AM MT, 9AM CT, 10AM ET, 2PM GMT | All events are currently being held via teleconference until further notice.

"If I were just a woman, he could not do this to me; if I were only a person of color, he would not be able to do this to me; my conclusion was that the only reason that you are able to take this unfair advantage is because I also have a disability." "My own personal identity is very much tied into who I am as a woman of color and as a disabled person, and I try not to distinguish between the three identities anymore". These quotes from Johnnie Lacy capture the flavor to this year's theme for Multiple Perspective's ongoing exploration of disability as a reflection of the human condition. A lived experience seen through multiple lenses of identity, work, school, human rights, theory, discipline, and law. Preference will be given to presentations that explore parallels, distinctions, lessons and impacts of disability across and within identity groups and models: https://ada.osu.edu/presentations-2022 7) 13th Annual CUNY Accessibility Conference April 11th, 12th, 13th and 14th 2022 | Four Day Virtual Event. The State of Accessibility: Are We Living Up to the Promise of Compliance and the Law? Each year, the CUNY Accessibility Conference brings together hundreds of participants from the New York City region and across North America to discuss accessibility, disability services and disability activism in the context of postsecondary education. Two years after the start of an unprecedented pandemic and resultant transitions nationwide, we are returning to our foundation. The conference theme for 2022 is The State of Accessibility: Are we living up to the promise of compliance and the law? With this theme we hope to reflect topics such as on meeting the promise, falling short, advancements the law did not anticipate, and moving beyond a legal framework of accessibility. Submit your Proposal. Proposals are due by February 21st. Presentations will be 60 minutes long along with an extra 15 minutes for questions and answers (total 75 minutes).

Join Accessibility Engineers Brian Elton and Mitchell Evan from TPGi for answers to questions such as: What information is contained in a VPAT. Is a VPAT just for websites. Is every organization required to have one. How can a company secure a VPAT? Is it better to create it in-house or get a third party involved? TPGi's webinar will answer those questions and more, and explain how your organization can benefit from a VPAT.

Then there are the random products that are included, just for fun! We enjoy working with our customers 1-on-1 to their money is well spent and not wasted on something they may not use. In thinking about our customers and whether we will carry a product our guiding motto is that it must be: practical, affordable, simple, tested, and accessible (the pasta principle) and it seems to work very well. What We Do: We bring our business either via zoom, phone, or to your conference or convention, to give each customer a chance for questions and where possible, "hands on" evaluation of the merchandise. Kae and I test and use each product as blind users before we put it in our catalog. In the case of products for guide and service dogs, our own three guides, Thor, Debra and Melody, are engaged in the process of evaluating the usefulness, durability, and/or fun of the product. We want each of our products to be useful, accessible, afforable, and, whenever possible, fun! Our inventory is constantly changing, so a visit to us is never the same experience twice! Sponsor: A.
