The average math textbook contains over 5,000 equations, and it can take three to four months for a specialist to transform a print math book into accessible formats. Making these books accessible today requires a lot of human effort. While we now have the technology for converting a novel like War and Peace into accessible formats, converting STEM education materials remains a challenge. David Shaffer, Vice President and General Counsel, Waymap.Clark Rachfal, Director of Advocacy and Governmental Affairs, American Council of the Blind.Allison Burdett, Associate Vice President, Visual Impairment and Developmental Disabilities Services, WayFinder Family Services.Eric Bridges, Executive Director, American Council of the Blind.Zachary Bastien, Manager, Strategic Alliances, Verizon.Here are helpful videos from Way Map and Verizon / Way Map describing their work. We will discuss the latest innovations in way finding and navigation technology, learn how they are helping to meet the needs of people who are blind, and postulate how these services might be enhanced in the future. In this session, ACB will host a conversation with representatives from Verizon Communications, Way Map, and Way Finder Family Services to share how technology developers, service providers, and the blindness community are collaborating to solve long-standing issues through the adoption of new technologies. Join the American Council of the Blind for a conversation to learn how the built environment is becoming more accessible and independently navigable for people who are blind. Peter Tucic, Director of Strategic Partnerships, HumanWare.Louis-Philippe Massé, Vice-president of Product Innovation and Technologies, HumanWare.We will look at currently available devices, as well as where we are heading in the future. This presentation will explain how HumanWare is using machine and deep learning technologies to provide more complete access to the connected world. Assistive technology can serve as either a conduit to more efficiently access the connected world, or as an augmentation to vastly improve the user experience.
Global agenda how to#
While much of the IOT is accessible to someone who is blind, at times awareness of how to interact with these “things,” can be challenging. From having your smart speaker adjust the thermostat to tapping your watch on a rapid transit reader, or ordering food through a kiosk, we are living in a world with over 7 billion connected devices. IoT plays a major roll in all our daily lives.
The Internet of things, or IoT, loosely refers to todays landscape of connected devices in both how they network with each other and the cloud.
