The first step is that we have all of these buttons can be a rulebook which clearly remapped on the console. Defines not only the rules so if youre, like me, left handed, you can put by which the tasks have to be all of the controls completed, but also the on the left hand side, if you like. Now on bbc news, click. Its also got haptic feedback. And it isntjust sonys this week hands, face. Playstation thats taking steps to make games controllers dimensions by which the tasks more accessible. 0h, theres two people. Microsoft has been working yeah, theres two with Disability Charities yeah, got them. To help create something pretty unique. Race . This is the xbox have to be set up. And, of course, there had to be a way of ensuring everyone adaptive controller. Stuck to the rules. We recruited referees all over the world in the last month. We trained them also via videoconferences. It came out in 2018 we did some more tests and its pretty cool. With them and now, its basically like one they are ready to judge, central controller but, on site, the performance of the pilots. As you can see, there are loads and loads of ports here that you can plug in any controller that you like to make a more hello, welcome to click bespoke gaming experience. Hope youre all doing 0k. Its interesting, you know . Ive been in the industry now it is that time of year when we each discipline challenged mark the International Day teams to solve everyday for 20 something years problems. Now again, over that of persons with disabilities. Rough terrain all green lights. It happens on 3rd december in the powered wheelchair race, and definitely, i would say not competitors had to manoeuvre and we have a show this week through confined spaces, just at xbox but in all over rough terrain, all about accessibility intact. And even upstairs. The partner publishers and developers and Companies Bernhard winter is one i deal with, the awareness of the many Tech Developers clicks very own paul carter who were inspired by is a lot higher. Has been putting the show the cybathlon in 2016 to take their technology further. And i think the realisation together for us, and thanks i started about six years ago. Is that when you design for accessibility challenges and opportunities, you actually open up so many other doors to the magic of television, for a range of scenarios that are unexpected and you end up sort of solving for one hes here hi, paul hi, guys. How you doing . But then applying to many good to see you. In a really positive way, its not magic, really. And i think thats really someone tell her. Thats right, this is a show all about disability tech and i should point out that we do cover these stories i wanted to do a student project. All year round on click, i had the idea to build a cool its just that this one day robot that could climb steps. Catching on in the industry. Gives us a particular excuse to unashamedly focus just at the same time, the cybathlon on these issues. Was initiated, so the idea came its always such an inspiring show. Hey, we could put a seat on top. I wonder how its been curating this is what we did. And putting this programme together during a pandemic. We built a wheelchair taking a closer look, it really its been a challenge, that could climb stairs. Im not going to lie. Bernhard and i have history. Does seem the consoles have here he is as a student at eth added loads of accessible it might look a little bit zurich trying to rescue me features and menus for both different in terms of scale the console and the games. And scope from previous years from peril as his first but as this pandemic showed us, prototype leaves me hanging. Menu cursor sensitivity. Literally. Does this look as terrifying enhanced auto aim. Disabled people regularly have to find ways of adapting to you as it does to me . And using technology, im not sure what is going like the ps5, the xboxs so its an appropriate thing to happen right now. Accessibility menu has a screen for the programme. Reader and custom no, it doesnt work. Button assignments. Whoa then, tragically, in the 2016 there are also captions, Voice Recognition and even transcription facilities. Accessibility in technology competition, his machine failed often focuses on educational tools or disabled peoples ability to adapt to surroundings on a day to day how has this lockdown affected you personally . Basis, but it rarely tackles its not always been easy. Entertainment and downtime. Lots of disabled people to get off the starting grid. You know, me included but now, his company have had issues around manufactures and sells isolation and loneliness. Its motorised wheelchairs its like were surviving, but one of the real positives and they do work. But not thriving. Specialeffect is a charity that to come out of this has been i can finally visit my neighbours next door the rise of Remote Working because too often, they have long stairs leading and technology that to their doors and actually, recognises this and understands makes that possible. Disabled people have been calling for it for years i havent been in their homes for the last five years, and were often told its not since my accident, how important accessible gaming possible and these last crazy, so with scewo, i could, crazy few months have shown us that actually, is to disabled people. Its more possible than we probably thought. And i wonder what thatll mean for the future. What we do is if someone well, well have more from paul wants an assessment, later on in the show but first, if theres a game or games for the first time, visit them. They want to play, we are able lucy edwards who is somewhere between becoming radio ones to send the equipment out first blind dj and a tiktok to them and then we would go phenomenon shes been out and do assessment investigating how ai could be for the majority of people making smartphones the latest we help, because actually, mus have accessory for people central to the cybathlon is how being there is so important. With visual impairments. Research into how these High Tech Solutions can if youre blind like me, tech work in everyday life. The most important thing powered arm prosthetics is this the gaming industry that describes its surroundings are used to cut bread, is becoming so much more screw in light bulbs inclusive and its paving and hang up washing. The way for accessible can be life changing. And exoskeletons are challenged tech everywhere but, with tasks like getting up most importantly, it normalises the idea from the sofa. Of considering accessibility even technologies like brain to computer interfaces from the get go are being tested. From the initial blueprints the system detects brain to the final product. Signals and uses them to control an avatar and its this normalising of disability that could help us change our attitudes towards in a virtual race. Beep applause. And in a cycling task for competitors with paraplegia disability in the future. A complete or partial paralysis of the lower half of the body a technique known as functional electrical stimulation is used to enable robotic female voice facing that was niamh hughes. South west along world piazza. And paul, do you think not that it always them to perform a pedalling the Games Industry is finally gets it right. Paying attention is there a bike parking to this market . In front of us . Movement on a recumbent i do or, at least, that was last year. B i cycle. Back in 2016, we met now, the new iphone 12 comes johnny beer as he trained theyre theyre getting there. With lidar to help users detect and competed in i think as niamhs experiences people around them. In that piece showed us, thats especially useful right we essentially had a lost now when were all meant to be socially distancing. Generation of disabled gamers i asked my best friend dave the 750 metre race. Who wanted to get involved to help me give it a go. But found that it was something hello how are you . Thatjust wasnt im good, thank you. As technology has improved over accessible for them. The last four years, the distance has increased, and thankfully, thats but it still has to be covered now starting to change. In the same time generally, do you think 2020 has been a good of eight minutes. Year for accessibility . How are you . Its nice to see you. Three, two, one, go in these strange times, now, the Cleveland Team i have felt a bit anxious are the one to beat. Well, it seems weird to be now, this is a gentleman talking about taking positives about leaving the house. Who is looking to turn have you tried it out the tables, johnny beer from this year, doesnt it, but. The house yet or is this too right. The first time. . I think from accessibility this is the first ever time. Terms, on the whole, yes. The world outside is a lot of the new features so inaccessible at the moment and products that have been super accessible for disabled for me. I dont know if people in 2016, i got 4 are going to cough on my face minutes, 8 seconds. People this year, a lot of them johnny beer is so close with have almost come about by or where they are in proximity oh, and it is beer accident and i think that plays to me, but will this in my hand the imperialberkel team takes silver medal. Into this notion of inclusive have the answer . Today, ive got 2 minutes 57 design that if you include theres no people detected, seconds but for 1200 metres, and design products for so im guessing thats correct. Disabled people from the ground as we set off down my local so technically, im, up, you end up with better like, 100 faster. Every cybathlon there is, high street, we saw the tool the technology is going to get could be amazingly accurate. Products for everybody. A White Building with a red better and thats a good thing for disabled people. Paul, thank you so much. And white sign on it. Some competitors even and dont forget, we have a person wearing a helmet turned their living rooms loads of content relating sitting on a motorcycle. Into makeshift tv studios then again, it did also think with cameras linking back to disability at bbc 0uch , which you can that dave was a child. To zurich, screens with find at bbc. Co. Uk ouch. Countdowns, and even cheering hilarious robotic male voice a child supporters. Standing in front of a building with a sign on it. What did thatjust say . Did thatjust say a child also, a reminder that clicker in front of i get that a lot 20, a live celebration, is happening this i dont know it is telling me youre in front of a building though. I mean, thats accurate thursday at 1230 gmt. But what really surprised me was the people proximity alerts. 0h, theres two people exciting yeah, theres two. And if you want to be in our live online audience, yeah, you got those. You got both of them. And there is the then do send us a direct yeah, got them. Closure of the door message via twitter it is almost getting or instagram at bbclick. Almost every person that is walking past. Whilst it is a competition, and later in the week, i love it cybathlon is first and foremost 1. 5,1. 5. A place for collaboration, technological development, well be sharing a link theres a person 1. 5 inclusion, and a showcase metres away from me for what is needed by for you all to click do i need to socially distance . People with disabilities. On if youd all like to watch. The smartphone counts down oh, that brings it as people get closer. All back, doesnt it . That is it for this week, though. Ive found you, you we were there in 2016 thanks so much for watching are five metres away. Iam four. And i have to say, it is one and we well see you soon. Four metres away. Two. Of the highlights of my entire bye bye. 1. 5. And your cane is about to. Time on this programme. One. There we go 0. 5. It was incredible. And i think its much thank goodness youre like seeing any sporting event you dont quite appreciate in my bubble, babe. The wonder of it when you see it on tv as you do in the flesh. I think this is going to be now were going to talk about useful even after the pandemic gaming and specifically, how accessible video for tackling things like queues. Games games rate. Right, youre there. So paul, tell us about this a person standing on a sidewalk in front of a store. Next story, please. That is incredible. Sings two metres away. Well, with the new next gen im two metres away consoles now on sale 0h, theres another person. Honestly, i think knowing that the p55 and the xbox series x, questions have been asked hello there. People are around me freaks me about just how accessible they are. Tuesday is set to bring a real out a little bit because im is this the most accessible mix of weather across the uk generation of console gaming really not used to knowing ever . So niamh hughes has been and for some, the day where people are looking into this for us and investigating specifically will start off with some pretty what changes have been made for disabled gamers. Dense fog, particularly across parts of southern and Eastern England so im going to have to get used to it, but im really and up into the midlands. Excited that i can but further north, be in control again. Its a different story. But any a tool can this area of low pressure only ever be as good swinging its way in from the east making it as its training data. Too windy for fog. Instead, weve got cloud, and objects like braille weve got outbreaks of rain, readers or white canes have a little bit of snow never been the focus of an ai database before, until now. Over high ground. These clips have been but thats where well have the mildest start to the day, certainly relative i remember seeing my first to the pretty chilly conditions games console probably down towards the south. When i was around five or six, some spots 2 3 degrees below collected by microsoft, but it just wasnt something freezing, so that means that kind of appealed we could have some freezing fog patches across parts to me at the time of the west country, primarily because the controllers were just into the midlands, east anglia, completely inaccessible to me. Up into lincolnshire. I have congenital hemiplegia, a few showers grazing City University of london which is a little bit the far south east, a bit and the university of oxford, like cerebral palsy, of winteriness mixing but they have all been filmed but it only affects the right in with those, and that by people like robin. Side of my body. 00 06 34,957 4294966103 13 29,430 so my left hand is pretty 0k. Could give some icy stretches. Its really important that blind people themselves are the ones to do the recording of the things a bit of sunshine through that are important to them. The south west of england, parts of south wales but for north wales, northern england, northern ireland, and scotland, well here, weve got that theyre the ones that a lot of cloud. Are capturing these training weve got some videos because theyre outbreaks of rain. Some snow over high ground the people that are going to be using the software to find in northern scotland and some brisk winds with gusts of 50 the objects, and they might not mph or more for coasts line it up in the of western scotland. Viewfinder very well. So, as we go on through it might be obscured by another object, you know . The day, this area of cloud with outbreaks of rain it may be partially hidden willjust continue to pivot because, you know, the machine around across scotland, learning behind it, the brain northern ireland, northern england, parts of wales. Behind it will be that much further south and east, smarter, and will give some of the fog can be quite that much better slow to clear particularly a more inclusive experience for people with a vision through east anglia and impairment. So far, some 3000 videos have already been collected and the project aims to gather lincolnshire. Most places should brighten up with a little bit of sunshine. Chilly, though, in eastern parts, 2 3 celsius. Around 10,000 clips in total. Further west, we could see highs of 8 9. And then as we go through tuesday night into the early we developed a Data Collection hours of wednesday, we see this app it runs on an iphone, cloud with outbreaks of showery they can download it rain gradually working and then we ask them to take some videos so seven videos southeastwards. Of at least five objects through the Data Collection app. A little bit chilly that automatically gets for a time across parts uploaded, we check it. Because this a can learn of Eastern England, from just a handful of clips, and we could see a frost late users will be able to teach it in the night across northern personalised objects. Ireland as the skies clear. That means being able to pick but as we go on into wednesday, out your keys or your cane we see our cloud and showery from other peoples. Rain tending to push eastwards. Sojust imagine if i could train it to say yep, then, a slice of sunshine and then we see rain returning robins shoes or 0h, to northern ireland, wales, those are robins glasses. And the south west of england. Particularly when you have family members leaving their stuff around as well but those temperatures just showing signs of creeping you know, is this my mug that upwards a little bit, 5 9 celsius. Now that area of rain im about to pick up, in the west will tend to dive away southwards. So, a lot of dry weather around on thursday, but then there is another frontal system waiting in the wings. So, thursday, dry for many, or is it somebody elses . But theres the increasing chance of rain for the end of the week, but it will be turning a little bit milder. The data base will undoubtedly improve seeing ai and soundscape two audio tools already launched by microsoft. The biggest gap is what we have been calling the data desert, to really light up all of that potential. We start to realise that there is not enough data, holistically notjust any for any one company. Just holistically, theres not enough data. From next year, the database will also become open source so anyone can build better products, whether that is for your smartphone 0 even your smart glasses. Oh, yeah high five. Blind girl high five will it come to glasses soon . Boy, i really do hope it will and i would actually wear these glasses around the house, notjust out and about, because then everything that i look at would be spoken to me. Wow, that sounds amazing. I use apps every single day but ive never seen something that will personalise objects in my hand before, and this would be groundbreaking for the visually impaired community. Lucy edwards there. Paul, do you think that smartphones are going to become vital tools for blind people . Absolutely. Ithink, you know, lucy touched on it there what has been extraordinary has been the pace of change in that smartphones now are just absolutely essential as an accessibility aid. Do you think theres even more to come in this space . Absolutely. I think the next thing will be live, on the fly, people recognition, so it can identify individual people, notjust people in general. But i think it a more wider sense, ai is going to have huge implications for this area and i think as more companies cotton on to the power, well see it rolled out much more widely. Hello and welcome to the week in tech. It was a week that tiktok started allowing some users to record longer 3 minute videos as part of a test run, instead of the usual one minute limit.
