Full FeedAT&T makes commitment to users with disabilites
AT&T is following the footsteps of Google and Apple, opening a new segment for the market of those with disabilities. AT&T is trying to open up their information to developers and allow them to create applications and systems for users who have disabilities. This method is called Universal Design, and a small range of applications has already been created based on this method to assist those users who are disabled or handicapped.
These Universal Design based application includes Mobile speak or voice command, a screen reader with Braille to help those who are blind, and Mobile Magnifier, a magnification application that supports low and high-resolution screens for those who have difficulties in reading.
Although there’s a lot of hi-end technologies that already assist a lot people in need, AT&T hopes that with this method, it’ll help develop additional tools that will offer further assistance. With this commitment of AT&T, there will hopefully be a brighter ‘tech’ future for those in need.
