Disability Works Special
A special episode on how technology is helping people with disabilities. Presented by Rory Cellan-Jones.
We find out how technology is helping people with disabilities, and how the same tech can be useful to everyone. Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ producer Johny Cassidy tries Orcam, a wearable camera that reads out text to its user and recognises faces. We ask Microsoft's Chief Accessibility Officer Jenny Lay-Flurrie what the company is doing to increase accessibility to key workplace software. And IBM's chief science officer for cognitive computing Dr Guru Banavar tells us how advances in artificial intelligence will soon boost the accessibility of technology to everyone. Presented by Rory Cellan-Jones, with special guest Dr Jo-Anne Bichard from the Helen Hamlyn Centre for Design at the Royal College of Art.
