Hi Folks,
Considering all of the attention pertaining to awareness and accessibility,
indeed, there should have been descriptive video, an (audio track) inserted.
I think that they honestly should have thought about that and included it.
Blessings and All the Very Best,
Pat

Nothing wrong with video, but it should have been more useful to blind
viewers, with audio explanations of what was on screen. I got very little
out of it.

What's wrong with making a youtube video?
everything else is in text. the web page is text, the project sight is
text, etc. What is wrong with a video so that sighted people can
actually see the thing?
and if they're trying to get it premoted that is because they need
backing. I don't see anything wrong with that.
I really think people should be told about this.

If people don't even think when doing a promotion video they most

don't have blind people in mind but only profit. I'd be very careful with
your hopes, if I were you. This can only lead to disappointment.
Take care,

The video is mostly meant for sighted people, but do read the web sight
it
is
much more detailed.
You can save things on it I'm guessing, sinse it mentions being able to
save
the face of a loved one etc so I'm guessing that there are presets
somewhere in there.
The potential of this thing is enormous, you guys must realise that.
No more wondering what something in a shop is with this as one tiny
example.
