2) Dot Inc. Announces the World's First Tactile Braille Display, Compatible
with iPhone and iPad

Braille is widely used by people with vision impairments, but despite
widespread improvements to accessibility on the web and smart devices,
innovation for braille-reader hardware has essentially been stalled. Dot
has taken a huge step forward with a smart braille device that not only
allows for easy display of text, but tactile representations of imagery,
potentially opening an entirely new layer for education and accessible
content. This device is a tactile display intended for graphics. It may be
available in 2023:

15) Tattoos And Car Sensors Inspire University of Arizona Team's New
Navigational Tool For The Visually Impaired

"A cane has been serving its purpose for people with visual impairments for
a long time. It is part of myself," Dr. Hong said. Dr. Hong also said while
the cane is helpful, it leaves a lot of his body vulnerable. "Say there are
things above your head or your shoulder area, the area where the cane would
not be able to cover, then the only way for you to detect it is detecting
it with your body, so that is not the most reasonable way of doing. In some
cases, it can be pretty dangerous," Dr. Hong said. Dr. Hong began to
collaborate with Dr. Wolfgang Fink, an electrical and computer engineering
professor at the university:

4) Sound Can Stimulate Blind Retina To Transmit Signals To The Brain Via An
Ultrasonic Retinal Prosthesis

Retinal degenerative diseases, caused by progressive degeneration of the
light-sensitive photoreceptors in the retina, is one of the major causes of
vision loss and blindness, affecting tens of millions of people worldwide.
Although the rods and cones which are the light-sensitive cells of the
retina have completely degenerated, the neural circuitries connected to the
brain are mostly well preserved, providing the opportunity to restore
vision by directly stimulating the retinal neurons:

3) DM90 - Done at 100!

March 14th 2022 | This episode starts out with Michael and Damashe
Discussing the fact that we have 10 more episodes, and we really need a new
system! Michael doesn't think Mallory will agree with Damashe's comment!
Michael has been using the Mac on a semi-regular basis and shares his
thoughts about it. Damashe and Michael also reviewed the experiences of
Damashe resetting his Mac. Damashe is looking for some assistance with VS
Code, do you have any suggestions for him? With the combination of using
Windows and Mac, Michael needs a way to keep all of his files in sync. This
episode discusses that, before we transition into our closing topic.
Michael has a cousin who recently received his contractor's license for
pouring concrete, and asks Damashe what the essential infrastructure tools
are to get started!

4) Webinar: How Any Organization Can Start Small but Deliver Big with
Accessibility | TPGi

March 30th 2022 | 9AM PT, 10AM MT, 11AM CT, 12PM ET, 4PM GMT | Presenter:
Charlie Pike, Platform Success Lead. 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.)

6) The 21st Annual Multiple Perspective Conference at The Ohio State
University

April 11th 2022 and April 12th 2022 | Conditions permitting, we will meet
in person, provisions will be made for presenters with travel restrictions.
"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:

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). You will be
notified by the committee regarding the acceptance of your proposal by
March 8th. For questions, please email Tania Kalaitzidis at
akalaitzidis at qcc.cuny.edu ✉. Please fill out our Call for Proposals form at:
