Since many of us get confused between ‘Access’ to Internet and ‘Accessibility’ which is more related to providing a barrier free environment to disabled, this seminar holds the key to Accessibility, how to develop Accessible content, and how to validate and test the Accessibility of the content. This two hour seminar will also have an interactive Q&A session in the end to clarify any apprehensions or doubts the audience may have related to Accessibility.
PROGRAM
1. About Accessibility – Dr. Praveen Misra
2. Accessible Coding – Jaunita George
3. Accessibility Functional Testing – Angela Young
4. Q & A
On Tuesday June 4, 2024 at 7:30pm-8:30pm EDT (23:30-00:30 UTC) the Accessibility NYC Meetup (A11yNYC) hosts a meetup ‘Leveling the Playing Field: Toward Equivalently Accessible Video Game Worlds‘. Vishnu Nair of Columbia University will share insights from his journey in designing, building, and testing video game accessibility tools for blind or low vision (BLV) players to navigate and engage with 3D game worlds in a fun and independent way. Through a deep dive into three of his major Ph.D. projects, he will highlight feedback from BLV gamers and discuss what these projects reveal about the next steps within game accessibility and beyond.
The meetup will be webcast live via a partnership with the Internet Society New York Accessibility SIG.
The new program includes a pioneering sponsorship agreement whereby PIR will sponsor other registries and registry service providers with free access to two key IWF services, Domain Alerts and the Top-Level Domain (TLD) Hopping List. TLD hopping is a practice whereby criminal websites are taken offline only to reappear, often with the same content and name, but under a different top-level domain. With more registries having access to the lists, there will be fewer places for criminals running abuse “brands” to try to register their sites.
