Boston-IA (Boston-IA.org <http://www.boston-ia.org>) invites IxDA Boston to attend a presentation at WGBH. Larry Goldberg<http://boston-ia.org/meetings.html#speaker>, Director of the Media Access Group at WGBH (Access.wgbh.org<http://access.wgbh.org>), will discuss the ground-breaking work that WGBH continues to do to make multimedia accessible for people with disabilities. The meeting will take place at the new WGBH facilities in Brighton.
As media changes from analog to digital, from fixed to mobile, from broadcast to the Internet, captioning and video description must change as well. New and emerging applications for captioning and video description are being developed and proliferated today by the Media Access Group at WGBH and its business partners. Larry Goldberg will discuss the promise and problems of captioning and description for personal data assistants (PDAs), cell phones, digital TV, digital cinema, DVDs, in-flight systems, and Internet-based educational and entertainment services. For security purposes, pre-registration is required. Please pre-register by Wednesday, January 30, 2008 to save your space. *Meeting details * Presentation by: Larry Goldberg <http://boston-ia.org/meetings.html#speaker>, Media Access Group at WGBH *"Beyond the Box: Media Access Anywhere and Everywhere"* Wednesday, February 6, 2008 6:30 PM to 9:00 PM WGBH One Guest Street Brighton, Massachusett*s **Directions* <http://www.boston-ia.org/meetings/directions.html> *to WGBH (http://www.boston-ia.org/meetings/directions.html)* *Registration* The meeting is free for Boston-IA members, and $15 for all others, payable at the door.
