WEBCAST SEP 19: A11yVR – Accessibility in a Virtual World Before Oculus – Alice Krueger + Ann Ludwig
On Monday September 19 2022 at 19:30 EDT / 23:30 UTC / 08:30 JST (Sep 20) the Accessibility VR Meetup hosts ‘Accessibility in a Virtual World Before Oculus‘. Accessible virtual worlds existed before VR immersive headsets, and VR headsets aren’t for everyone, other rich environments with a lower level of technology and welcoming communities are necessary to be fully inclusive. The Virtual Ability community in Second Life has facilitated the entry into virtual worlds of people with a wide range of accessibility needs since 2007. Alice Krueger and Ann Ludwig will explain the accessibility options of the new Resident Orientation Course and Sojourner Auditorium on Second Life’s Virtual Ability island, and the platform tools and design principles that lead to an accessible virtual environment.

The session will be webcast live via a partnership with the Internet Society New York Chapter Accessibility SIG (A11ySIG).

WEBCAST Aug 10: @A11yVR – Designing for Bodies: Accessibility in VR – Richard Hoagland
On Wednesday August 10 2022 at 19:30 EDT / 23:30 UTC / 08:30 JST (Aug 11) the Accessibility VR Meetup hosts ‘Designing for Bodies: Accessibility in VR‘. Developers and designers face challenges in building accessible XR experiences when the nature of XR is an embodied experience, and many standard methods of interaction and interface require complex bodily movements. Richard Hoagland of VRTogether will work through the case study of an activity called Dot2Dot that fosters social interaction through two individuals solving a casual puzzle together – while ensuring the experience is fun and engaging for both users manipulating virtual hand switch controllers and those using gaze-based input. And importantly for the VRTogether team, supporting both interaction modalities at the same time.

The session will be webcast live via a partnership with the Internet Society New York Chapter Accessibility SIG (A11ySIG).

WEBCAST JUN 7 – @A11yNYC – Breaking Into the Digital Accessibility Profession – Louise Clark
On Tuesday June 7 2022 at 7:30pm-8:30pm EDT (23:30-00:30 UTC) the Accessibility NYC Meetup (A11yNYC) hosts an online meetup ‘Breaking Into the Digital Accessibility Profession‘. Trying to begin a career in digital accessibility can be intimidating as people new to the profession struggle to find paths toward becoming experts in their field. They may want to be an accessibility engineer, an accessibility consultant, an accessibility tester, a disability inclusion advocate, an accessibility designer, or maybe they just want to be a well-rounded technologist who is aware that accessibility should be a part of their everyday considerations and workflow practices. UX Digital Consultant Louise Clarke will discuss approaches and strategies that will support people interested in various accessibility specializations.

The meetup will be webcast live via a partnership with the Internet Society New York Accessibility SIG

WEBCAST APR 5 – A11yNYC – Accessible Typefaces, Fonts, and Text: Optimizing the reading experience – Jared Smith
On Tuesday April 5 2022 at 7:30pm-8:30pm EDT (23:30-00:30 UTC) the Accessibility NYC Meetup (A11yNYC) hosts an online meetup ‘Accessible Typefaces, Fonts, and Text: Optimizing the reading experience‘. Typefaces, fonts, and text styling can have a significant impact on the user experience — and there are few accessibility guidelines that relate to text accessibility. Jared Smith of WebAIM will provide an overview of how reading is processed in the human mind, and how to minimize the cognitive effort and maximize the visual accessibility of online text.

The meetup will be webcast live via a partnership with the Internet Society New York Accessibility SIG

WEBCAST FEB 1 – A11yNYC – Google Project Relate: A Communication Tool
On Tuesday February 1 2022 at 7pm-8pm EST (00:00-01:00 UTC Jan12) the Accessibility NYC Meetup (A11yNYC) hosts an online meetup ‘Google Project Relate: A Communication Tool‘. Pan-Pan Jiang of Google will introduce a new Android app called Project Relate, which aims to help people with speech impairments communicate more easily with others and interact with Google Assistant. Users record a set of phrases from which the app, via a library of more than one million samples, learns how to better understand the speaker’s unique speech patterns, and give them access to the app’s three main features: Listen, Repeat, and Assistant. Impaired English speakers in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the United States are invited to trial the app.

WEBCAST JAN 11 – A11yNYC – Broke with Accessible Taste: Understanding the Economics of Digital Access in US
On Tuesday January 11 2022 at 7pm-8pm EST (00:00-01:00 UTC Jan12) the Accessibility NYC Meetup (A11yNYC) hosts an online meetup ‘Broke with Accessible Taste: Understanding the Economics of Digital Access in US‘.

Conversations about digital accessibility are predominantly centered on the technical and monetary expenses of implementation in products and applications. Missing from these conversations are socioeconomic factors faced by people with disabilities that can be significant blockers to digital access more than any design or technical inaccessibility.

Crystal Preston Watson will dive into learning about the economic realities of disability in America and the repercussions of overlooking those realities in digital access.

The meetup will be webcast live via a partnership with the Internet Society New York Accessibility SIG
