How do visual interpreter platforms and equipment shape, extend and
constrain our skills and opportunities as blind people? How do business
practices and design choices affect us, and how can we affect them? How is
visual interpreter tech introduced, taught and positioned in the context of
blindness training? These informal discussion sessions are designed to help
us have an open, thoughtful, sales-free conversation about what visual
interpreter tech means in our community. Users, developers, workers and
anyone else with an interest is welcome.
