I grew up using a CCTV and was taught to use a Braille writer since Kindergarten. In middle school I started using the dome magnifier. Assistive technology has come a long way. I actually work at an Assistive technology center. Great video.

just something i was wondering: is it easier for those who are visually impaired in this day and age when we have smartphones that can be customized to your needs? or are smartphones not all that compatible with your needs, and older flip phones were easier to manage due to their simplicity? anyone who can answer with their experiences would be appreciated.

uhg, i wrote that out half way through the video....and within 1 min of pressing play again, they mostly answered my question. but i still think its somewhat valid- were flip phones easier to navigate than todays smartphones, or is the benefits of a smartphone worth the complexity of it?

Yeah, in fact, I did a video about it. Do a lot of research before investing in a product for that price. Not only on the product but the company as well.

Totally laughing at the CC TV situation. You think you had it bad? I had one in 1987. Talk about big and awkward. It was probably the first model. lol

I also really like your '20 years of vertigo' video, I've used it a couple of times to try and help illustrate to people how I see. Thanks so much for making it.

I'm studying computer science, and obviously I am not educated enough yet to work on operating systems, but from what I can see, compared to the other stuff they do, accessibility SHOULD be easy as pie. At the moment I am still using other people's interfaces to display my code, I can't even make full apps yet But I am only in second year, and I could write a programme that could do the functionality of the zooming and enlarging buttons etc I just couldn't implement it, because hacking operating systems is hard, and voids your warranty. In the same way I could also write a programme that would take any colour and replace it with any other colour you wished, to reduce glare, increase contrast, whatever the user needs. I haven't worked with making speaking, or listening, apps yet, but since the technology already exists, I don't think implementing it in accessible ways would be at all difficult, because adding another input that creates the same result is insultingly easy. I have to say that they could, quite frankly do better if they cared more. It is good they have done what they have, but it probably took very little time or money. But maybe there are complex factors when working at that scale, I just don't think so :( In fact I am planning to hack an open source programme for writing code, to make it more accessable by changing colours and sizes, as soon as I have the vision spoons, and a good day, to look at the white on black and small print I will be editing.

The worst part of Dome Magnifiers is when you have to use them a lot and your hand gets tired.

It would make my hand hurt at times. However, it's pretty durable. One time my dome fell down 7-10 steps & t only made a small scratch

they would be a ton easier if they didn't weigh approximately 948824 pounds (maybe that's a bit of an exaggeration but when you have to use them for a full school day it feels like they can get that way :p)
