WEBCAST FEB 7 – A11yNYC – Opportunities and Challenges of AI for Accessibility – Cynthia Bennett and Shari Trewin
On Tuesday February 7 2023 at 7:30pm-8:30pm EST (00:30-01:30 UTC Feb 8) the Accessibility NYC Meetup (A11yNYC) hosts a meetup ‘Opportunities and Challenges of AI for Accessibility‘.

Artificial intelligence (AI) techniques have the power to change the experience of living with a disability. For example, image analysis can generate descriptions of places and images a person can’t see, and speech recognition helps many people to communicate, learn, or control their environment.

However, bias embedded into AI systems, when unchecked, can cause harm, often to people already excluded from technology development processes. For example, when someone’s voice is not recognized, they cannot take advantage of the accessibility provided by speech recognition systems like smart speakers and dictation software.

In this talk, Drs. Cynthia Bennett and Shari Trewin will go over contemporary concerns at the intersection of AI bias, accessibility, and disability, and share recent research and industry efforts toward inclusive innovation with AI.

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

WEBCAST DEC 21 – Webinar: Digital Inclusion for Persons with Disabilities to Achieve the Global Goals
On Wednesday December 21 2022 at 09:30-10:30 BST (03:30-04:30 UTC) the Internet Society Accessibility Standing Group presents a webinar ‘Digital Inclusion for Persons with Disabilities to Achieve the Global Goals‘. This is an international webinar with a focus on accessibility in Bangladesh, in cooperation with the Bangladesh Government’s public service innovation unit (a2i).

The WHO estimates that about 15% of the global population lives with some form of disability, and among them, 80% live in low and middle-income countries. They have limited digital footprints due to the lack of internet facilities and the accessibility of the websites, apps, and digital services. Although the Bangladesh Government has set the priorities of digitizing the public services to implement the vision of Digital Bangladesh including making it more inclusive and barrier-free for all, persons with disabilities are still deprived of accessing these public services.

Nowadays, a remarkable number of private services are also provided online, and those are inaccessible to persons with disabilities. Consequently, a significant number of citizens are being deprived of digital services. Therefore, awareness should be created to promote digital inclusion for persons with disabilities, complementing the International Day of Persons with Disabilities.

This event will be in English. Text captions and Bangla Sign Language (BdSL) interpretation will be available.

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).
