About the talk: Designing accessibility in Augmented Reality
Welcome to the European PlayOn Space Center Launch Pad. All systems are green, ready for launch. Main engine start. 3 – 2 – 1 - … Liftoff! We take you on a journey through a solar system of exciting tools for “digital theater”. First we will visit the planet of microcontrollers, have a short conversations with its inhabitants and maybe even see how they secretely build circuits by themselves (!). Afterwards we will visit the two-moon planet of audiovisual productions, where we will find another ton of tools. Best is: lots of them are free and we are allowed to take them with us. Our journey will end with the third planet: a multicultural zone of realtime video effects. Species from all the other planets are here as well, but new mutations are also growing up fast.
