In this session:
Disability is a mismatch between someone's abilities
and the way an environment is set up.
It's a human-made problem.
Wheelchairs don’t make the building inaccessible…the stairs do
…the design of products, services, and environments so that everyone, including people with disabilities, can fully experience them.
Vision
Speech
Language
Knowledge
Azure Media Services
Video Analyzer
That apply the AI building blocks
Who Am I Building This For and With?
(Bring them in at the design phase not test phase. Requirements not Solutions)
Who Can Experience this? Blind, Deaf, Limited-mobility, Cognitive considerations
(Alt-text, captions, transcripts, recordings, SEO, AccChecker)
Who Am I Unintentionally excluding? Do No Harm.
Make sure everyone has a way to participate
Are Accessibility features/ accommodations available to everyone?
(Not just to those you ask. On by default. Don’t hide them!)
Ask & Learn from feedback and iterate. feedback -> iterate loop?
“The more inclusive you are, the more innovative you can be.
Together we can create a better and more accessible world for everyone.”
