Valid criticism on The vOICe: "звуковий ландшафт, отриманий з такого необробленого зображення, буде містити більше інформації про фон, а не об’єкти" (then the soundscape obtained from such a raw image will contain more information about the background rather than the objects).

The vOICe's recently added AI depth view option aims to alleviate this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jE3ElPNA21g as does hybrid use of The vOICe with AI scene description (e.g. Google Gemini Live) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7jL9JVWmdw #AI #BCI #blindness

🧺Happy International Picnic Day

Picnics are a great way to enjoy summer & spend time in community.

A few accessibility tips:

Keep walkways clear.
Describe the layout of the picnic area.
Label food & drinks.
Choose locations with accessible paths, seating & nearby restrooms.
Give guide dogs space to work & rest.
Ask before helping.

Accessibility does not have to be complicated.

#Bllind people, check out the #FIFA “audio description” app. I missed that it exists until yesterday. It effectively gives you a radio broadcast of all the #WorldCup matches, with maybe a little more visual description than a regular radio broadcast. So it’s not exactly audio description, but super useful, especially in the US where the “radio” broad cast is just the audio from the TV. And pre/post-match they do actual audio description of what’s going on in-stadium. Only thing I don’t like about it is there’s no crowd noise in the background, so it’s way less exciting. And there’s no way to sync it with anything else, so you can’t get the usual energy of a broadcast. #Football #WorldCup #Blindness #AudioDescription

Artificial vision for the blind was once the stuff of science fiction -- Lt. Geordi La Forge's visor on Star Trek or the bionic eye of The Six Million Dollar Man.
