The 39th CSUN Assistive Technology Conference took place from 18 to 22 March in Anaheim, California, hosted by the Centre on Disabilities, Division of Student Affairs at California State University, Northridge. There were many exciting braille product announcements at the conference, and the latest prototypes of previously announced braille products were also exhibited. In this episode, we are joined by a panel of braille experts who attended the conference. They will help us unpack the announcements and share their thoughts on the products they saw. If you are planning to attend any of the Sight Village exhibitions in the UK, this episode will help you decide which products you might like to see for yourself.

Hello! This time, Nora Young talks about this article in Time about the potential use of generative AI such as ChatGPT in design for virtual environments in the metaverse.Cathi Bond discusses this intriguing research into a smart walking stick for blind and visually impaired users. The goal is to use cameras and image recognition to improve navigation. For more on related technology, here's Nora's Spark interview with Chancey Fleet. 

For almost 200 years, the Braille system has turned the written word into raised bumps that blind people can read. But what about images? A device called an embosser pricks and crimps 3D dots and lines on paper to produce a tactile image, allowing people to perceive pictures through touch. Chancey Fleet is a technologist at the Andrew Heiskell Braille and Talking Book Library in New York City. She's Blind and teaches low-vision and blind patrons to print their own images.

Will technology make Braille obsolete as the primary reading tool for blind people? Will talking apps and audiobooks win out over embossed dots? Braille has been written off before; each time it has come back stronger. We trace Braille from its beginnings in Napoleon's France, through the "War of the Dots" in the early 20th century to the age of the smart phone, and beyond. Photo by Brickset. Music in the episode from Marcel, Blue Dot Sessions, Podington Bear, Cuicuitte and gargle. More on contributors Sheri Wells-Jensen here, Joshua Miele here and Chancey Fleet here.

Kia ora Mosen At Largers.   Through a combination of awareness-raising and legal action, many people like to think that the web has become a more inclusive place. But there is much left to do. Entrepreneurs have seen an opportunity, and several companies have created technology they believe can make accessibility easier to implement for businesses, making the web a much more accessible place for us all. Some say this technology is revolutionary and in a relatively short time could make inaccessible websites a thing of the past, something that they say the current traditional approach will never do. Others say we are seeing a looming accessibility disaster as businesses purchase what is nothing but high-tech snake oil, thinking they have solved a problem and inoculated themselves against lawsuits when in fact they may have made matters worse. The most talked about company in this space is AccessiBe. It would appear to be the most deployed accessibility overlay, it is very well-funded, and they have recently appointed a high-profile name in our community as their Chief Vision Officer. Tensions and passions are high on social media and in the accessibility community about accessibility overlays in general and AccessiBe in particular. That’s not surprising because given what’s at steak, it’s one of the most important issues we face as a blind community. This week, it’s my goal to give you a range of perspectives and to question those who have strong views on either side, so you can make up your own mind.   The podcast is segmented by chapter for those using podcast apps that support this feature.

Days of wonder, days of rage. We're living through an information revolution as profound as any since Gutenberg and the printing press, but are we the people, the so-called "users", using the technology or is the technology using us and for what ends? How can we harness this particular transformation for good? That's the question, and we have some answers from Data & Society fellow Chancey Fleet, Team Human's Douglas Rushkoff, and technologist, educator, and organizer Nabil Hassein.  Music in the Middle:  “Do Not React” by TQX featuring Invenio Singers from the album Global Intimacy. Become a member and unlock audio exclusives and all audio and video exclusives along with additional content for non-members alike.  Go to:   https://Patreon.com/theLFShow

Many students find the prospect of studying science, technology, engineering, or mathematics rather daunting. However, with the propper accommodations and determination, blind students are succeeding in STEM fields all across the country and later establishing meaningful STEM careers. Special guests Mausam Mehta, Seyoon Choi, Chancey Fleet, and Kathryn Webster cover everything from obtaining the accommodations right for you to using creativity when solving access issues. Furthermore, through personal anecdotes, they offer advice fto those students who are concerned about committing to STEM, fearing the challenges it may present. Thank you to special guests Mausam Mehta, Seyoon Choi, Chancey Fleet, and Kathryn Webster.

Technology is a world of possibility. It offers greater knowledge, ease, and access, these days in the palm of our hand. If you're a blind or low vision consumer with a smartphone, you can use it to get visual information on demand – whether from a robot or a real person. Chancey Fleet is a tech educator at the New York City Public Library, she's obsessed with all types of technology, and particularly focused on the evolution of assistive tech. She's also fascinated by the proliferation of visual interpretation as a service and at times quite bluntly critical of their impact on our lives. For our fourth episode of the Be My Eyes Podcast, Chancey joins Hans and Julia to explain why visual interpreters are such a big deal when it comes to accessibility, data rights, and innovation. She also raises lots of questions: How can technology foster and hinder accessibility? Why must accessibility be understood as a civil right? How can disabled people become active agents in the development of technology as opposed to just the inspiration behind the design? In our discussion, we tackle that trope and shout-out to the original life-hackers: disabled people. Listen in!

Can technology advance society if it doesn't include all of society? This week, we talk with three disability justice activists who have ideas about how tech can ensure design, technology, and art are accessible and equitable. Not just ideas, they're doing it, and they are sparking a movement. Music Featured: “Feel It” by Bosq featured on the ‘Love and Resistance' album courtesy of Ubiquity Records.
