My Accessibility and Usability Evaluation team, along with colleagues from @OU_STEM@IETatOU and @kmiou hosted a great workshop yesterday on #XR#A11y we had a packed agenda and some great discussions, the presentation from @roboticaml was a particular highlight.
Happy Monday! Here's a sneak peak of what @YvonneCobbYumma and @JulianPeedleCalloo have been up to this month. Out on Wednesday. Don’t miss it! #bbcseehear
@AXSChat Deaf people who use sign language must be central to the process, integral to designing customer journeys for any organisation that is serious about serving those from d/Deaf communities. You can’t just bolt on accessibility and inclusion.
@AXSChat Another important value is that end-users must not be charged for access to equality. An electronics company asked us to build our lip-speaking and cued-speech tech into their smart TVs, and we were really excited about the prospect. Up until they said they would charge...
@AXSChat ten years lower than it should be. They go on to be under-employed for their ability. By levelling the playing field, making everything available in the first languages of d/Deaf people, at school, at work, at home, and at leisure,...
@AXSChat with their language and dialect, at their speed, at their level of signing, in a size and colour scheme that works best for them. AI makes individual, personal, bespoke translation a reality. 3/3
@AXSChat When I watch a show with sign language on TV, there’s a person in the bottom right corner of the screen, and she’s doing exactly the same performance for everyone. But AI means that doesn’t have to be the case. Everyone can have a sign translator who signs the way they prefer...
@RemoteWorkplace@AXSChat That's amazing! The potential of AI avatars to bridge communication gaps and enhance accessibility for the deaf community is truly groundbreaking. This is a significant step towards inclusivity. Great stuff! #AccessForAll#AIforGood#axschat
Sounds fascinating! It's incredible to see how AI is making a positive impact in simplifying sign language translation for the deaf community. Excited to join the #axschat Twitter chat and learn more from Adrian and the panelists at 8pm London time!
@AXSChat telling them their medical diagnosis, or explaining a court ruling. People should continue to be the first choice for bridging that gap. When that’s not an option, AI fill in. Computer-generated sign language is just one piece of the puzzle.
3/3
@AXSChat in order to gain access to information. Increasingly, the need for Sign Languages is being appreciated, and lots of organisations are offering content to people who prefer or rely on sign languages. Humans will always be the most import part of this – nobody wants an AI...
Explore the complexities of Sign Language & the role of #AI in simplifying its translation with Adrian from @roboticaml. Discover how tech is transforming communication for the deaf community. - join @NeilMilliken, @debraruh and me at 8pm London for #axschat Twitter chat.
