  VIDEO: #vIGF2020 #WS187 Open data For Women and Persons with disabilities #opendata #a11y 

  On Monday 9 November, 2020 Workshop 137 at IGF 2020 had the theme ‘Open data For Women and Persons with disabilities‘. Open Data is data which is made accessible and available in a standardized machine-readable format and under a license that allows it to be re-used and re-shared. Open data policies should be able to provide frameworks for opening up access to government data and provide governance mechanisms. Policies from governments should always highlight the requirements for the successful implementation of open data for all people including Women and Persons with disabilities.

  WEBCAST NOV 19: Haptics for XR – How designing great haptics can support use case accessibility – Eric Vezzoli @A11yVR @A11ySIG #haptics #XR @GoTouchVR #InterHaptics 

  On Thursday Nov 19 2020 at 1pm EST / 18:00 UTC / 3am JST (Fri) the Accessibility VR Meetup hosts ‘Haptics for XR – How designing great haptics can support use case accessibility‘ on Mozilla Hubs. Hand interaction with virtual content in XR is mainly mediated by controllers equipped with haptics actuators. Haptics can play a strong role for accessibility through sensory substitution, which means deliver through the sense of touch information otherwise mediated by sound or vision. Presenter Eric Vezzoli will focus on haptics design guidelines for XR, and a practical approach on how to implement and realize them via the Interhaptics haptic composer. The session will be webcast live via a partnership with the Internet Society Accessibility SIG (A11ySIG).

  WEBCAST THURSDAY: Improving Mobility by Assisting Cognition: A Case Study w/ Romain Delgrange @A11yVR @AllySIG @romain_dlg #cognitivescience #XRAccess #XR #a11y 

  On Thursday July 1 2020 at 7am EDT (11:00 UTC) the Accessibility VR Meetup hosts ‘Improving Mobility by Assisting Cognition: A Case Study‘ on Mozilla Hubs. To date, existing navigational aids (mobile apps, GPS) remain weakly adapted to the cognitive needs of human beings. This is especially true for people with cognitive disabilities, who face specific difficulties when it comes to finding one’s way in the city. Romain Delgrange will present a new study assessing the effectiveness and usability of a prototypal aid designed to meet the needs of people with cognitive disabilities. The session will be webcast live via a partnership with the Internet Society Accessibility SIG (A11ySIG).
