#blind

For the last three or so years I have been co-hosting EBU in Action, a quarterly podcast of the European Blind Union where we discuss various topic of importance to the community of blind and partially sighted people in Europe. Episode 14 is out as of two days and since there are many blind gamers on Mastodon, I thought I might do a special shoutout about it. It was my honour to have @svenja also known as SvenjaDev on Twitch and Philip Benefall, the person behind things such as Q9, Tarzan Junior and of course the Blastbay Game Toolkit (BGT) framework that many popular audiogames are based on, as guests for this one. We touched upon a lot of topics from the history of gaming for the blind, modding vs. native accessibility, e-sports gaming, streaming right up to AI so go ahead and check it out. #Accessibility #Blind https://ebuinaction.podbean.com/e/press-start-to-play-levelling-up-gaming-through-accessibility/

This way, the CSUN #assistiveTech conference is being held in California. It's a place where global #accessibility leaders, and a bunch of companies in that space, come together to share ideas, food, and I'm sure sometimes other things as well. #iykyk
It's also a place where the newest #accessibility "innovations" are shown off to potential customers, and that's where today's stream comes in.
I'm a #blind developer and computer power user. Would I actually use these products? Am I happy they exist, and was I consulted? Let's find out :)
See you in an hour, 1 PM EST, over at https://twitch.tv/IC_Null or https://youtube.com/@viewpointunseen

Hi to all the #Blind travellers. Soon I will be travelling internationally and I would like to take my braille display. Will I have any difficulties getting through security with this device? Do I need to let the security department know beforehand? I just want to avoid the complicated process of trying to explain what the device is. Thanks for any advice.
