@MissFire4 @Strong_Badam @NeonAderyn @momoxmia @CariWatterton @halfcoordinated @MissFire4 - You should try to reach out to Satish, I know he is there and would enjoy catching up with you!

@jmspool This is the headrest entertainment system and they did a great job of putting Accessibility features at the beginning of the onboarding. Imagine if you had 20/200 vision and had to use your cell phone to magnify the text or OCR every detail to find the Settings menu? #inclusive

It’s been fun and an honor to work on this project the past few years with great teammates and even better participants from the #a11y community. I can’t wait for this to get in the hands, feet, arms, chest, or whichever body part customers prefer to game with. #inclusivedesign

Introducing Project Leonardo for PS5, a highly customizable accessibility controller kit designed to help players with disabilities play more easily, more comfortably, and for longer periods.

@alon_levy Are there any recordings of this?

[Brian Parsons @BBBP14]

@peterme If that was you in the A’s T-shirt by Rockridge BART at 8am this morning, then we can make it a middle aged men walk ‘n talk next time.

@tomgreever Thanks!

[Brian Parsons @BBBP14]

@tomgreever - When reviewing other designers’ concepts, what information should you know about the designs to give useful feedback?
For example, background, purpose, constraints, etc.

[Brian Parsons @BBBP14]

@JDAL321 Nice try, but I see right through this BS move. Using this article to convince people of your meandering career path… like it was intentional and added value. I’m not buying it for one second, Jason.

[Brian Parsons @BBBP14]

@MissFire4 Seriously though, check out or DM @blindworrell He has a great perspective that isn’t at a professional/full-time gamer level. Also, he has a technical and educational background with accessibility so he knows the ins and outs in great detail

[Brian Parsons @BBBP14]

@MissFire4 You :)

@adhoc_addendum - just made reservations for two for this upcoming Monday and our 1 month old infant will be joining. Just wanted to make sure that was okay. Thanks!

@redcrew - I am having trouble finding best practices to write screen reader specifications, what it should read out loud, and in what order. Do you know of any resources for designing for screen readers?

[Brian Parsons @BBBP14]

@boltron I’ve heard the term “Professional Participants” when we see them on UserTesting

[Brian Parsons @BBBP14]

@Georgiaecon do y’all have any recommendations for Econ books for younger children?

[Brian Parsons @BBBP14]

Great resource and thanks for introducing it to me @redcrew !

[Brian Parsons @BBBP14]

@kimgoodwin Agreed. Also, thank you for listing out great questions to ask stakeholders in your book, “Designing for the Digital”... All of my successful projects as a UX pro for the last 5 years have included me asking those questions to my stakeholders.

[Brian Parsons @BBBP14]

@CaitlinGeier Thank you @CaitlinGeier !

[Brian Parsons @BBBP14]

@CaitlinGeier - Do you know of any remote UX research tools that are accessible? I saw your articles on Deque's website from 2016 and am looking for tools to run moderated and unmoderated research #a11y #uxdesign #uxr
