Disney to unveil assistive technology providing outdoor and menu audio
descriptions for theme parks 
by Ricky BrigantePosted on June 15, 2010 

In addition to the more than 30 narrated indoor attraction audio
descriptions currently available for visually impaired theme park guests (or
anyone in need of assistance), Disney has announced plans to unveil similar
narrations for its outdoor theme park areas.

Audio descriptions, provided via headsets, are designed help to guide guests
who, for any reason, can't fully experience the visual aspect of visiting a
Disney theme park. Using assistive technology audio description devices,
guests can still hear ambient sounds but will also receive descriptions of
scenery, props, and characters around them.

Beginning soon, these audio descriptions will extend beyond indoor rides and
shows and out into the streets of Disney's theme parks and will even offer
audible versions of restaurant menus for those who can't read them.

Share your yesterdays, Dream of tomorrow, but live for today!
