CSUN 2011 International Technology & Persons with Disabilities Conference

In just under two weeks, I’ll be presenting on the topic “Innovations in Accessibility: Designing for Digital Outcasts” on Wednesday March 16 at 10:40, in a room ceremoniously named America’s Cup D. The description is below:

Introduced by researchers from the University of Sussex, the term “digital outcasts” describes users with disabilities who are left behind as technology advances. This proposed presentation will explore emerging technologies (mobile, gaming apps, virtual worlds, etc) as they apply to barrier-free digital products in the health and wellness sector. Practical examples will include iPad, Nintendo Wii, haptic interfaces, virtual prosthetics, adaptive therapies, text-to-speech functionality, iPhone games and Second Life.

You can reserve a seat at the CSUN conference website.

I’m also bringing my wife for a little vacation. So if you’re coming to CSUN 11, there’s a decent chance you could meet the person who actually chooses to spend her life with someone like me. This may, in fact, be of more interest to some than my actual presentation.
