@TheLastLeg #isitok that #C4Paralympics coverage combined their sign interpreted and audio description (AD) versions for
@TheLastLeg and 'Today in Toyko'? This makes any on screen text smaller for partially sighted AD users than in the broadcast version #accessibility #a11y

@JennChubb @XR_Stories @UniOfYork Woohoo!

[Dr. Lauren Ward @thepengineer]

@drpcoleman @AESorg @IoSR_Surrey @SurreyDMM Congratulations! Really interested to read the paper :D

[Dr. Lauren Ward @thepengineer]

@JennChubb @XR_Stories @UniOfYork @joi_polloi Me too! I'll be doing a two year fellowship on interactive media accessibility.
Can't wait to meet :)

[Dr. Lauren Ward @thepengineer]

@axelwildsound @guardian I'd love to hear your experiences of working on it :D

[Dr. Lauren Ward @thepengineer]

@axelwildsound All in all it is really fantastic though and even as a sighted viewer, I actually enjoyed it more than I would have an article or a podcast by themselves.
I am really pleased to see @guardian exploring personalised accessibility.
