The Includiverse - Democratising content one click at a time
Overview
With the help of a Digital Catapult delivered by the team at Sunderland Software City and The Newcastle Deaf Centre, the Includiverse team are developing an application using smart glasses to increase access to big screen entertainment, museums and expos. In device captions and BSL will transform how people who are Deaf, Neurodiverse or who speak English as a second language will access content. How do we best utilise user centred design and the ethos of "nowt about us, without us" to insure inclusion is at the core of product design. Come and join the conversation with team and take part in a demo of the future of inclusive, immersive tech for good.
