We will announce the agenda next week but I am so excited about our speakers that I wanted to give you a sneak peek. <a href="https://sighttechglobal.us17.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6a40da359e4a36010f185791c&id=79afb3fcfb&e=503bb1e1d9" target="_blank"><span style='color:#007C89'>Please register today!</span></a> Sight Tech is free, virtual and highly accessible.<br><br><strong><span style='font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif'>Devices. </span></strong>We've never had so many assistive tech devices and their creators on the agenda. We will have great conversations about APH and DOT's approaches to the revolutionary tactile display, plus chats with the creators of ARx and Seleste, two new, relatively low cost devices, and a talk with Humanware's StellarTrek team. <br><br><strong><span style='font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif'>AI.</span></strong> Sight Tech's core focus is AI because the technology underpins much of advanced assistive tech. In the past year, there have been big shifts in the AI world that are important to understand. Among those joining us are renowned AI technologists David Ferrucci and Gary Marcus to talk about AI's limitations and how to overcome them, as well as Dr. Danna Gurari, a professor at University of Colorado Boulder, a leader in computer vision research, especially as it relates to accessibility.<br><br><strong><span style='font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif'>Virtual Reality. </span></strong>You may not have your VR headset yet, but it's coming to a workplace near you. How do we make sure VR is accessible? We have a stellar panel of experts who have rolled up their shirt sleeves to make accessibility happen, as well as the team from VR game maker Owlchemy that has done fascinating work to create a "screen reader" equivalent in a game already on the market.<br><br>If that's not exciting, what is? And I've barely touched the surface of the agenda. <a href="https://sighttechglobal.us17.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6a40da359e4a36010f185791c&id=3bd9ec3a13&e=503bb1e1d9" target="_blank"><span style='color:#007C89'>Please join Sight Tech Global.
