summary
Slides state 1.3 billion people live with long‑term disability and UK prevalence is one in five, numbers rising since COVID; 93% of blind people retain usable vision so low‑vision experiences matter. Demonstrations use an iPad Pro + Apple Pencil to show a five‑degree central field, and stories name hearing aids that stream over Bluetooth, offer location‑based presets and wind reduction, and even let an audiologist push firmware fixes — 93% of blind people have some useful vision and hearing‑aid app can reinstall firmware remotely. Examples include a Braille‑on‑lit‑indicator failure and small ergonomic fixes like a mini shelf outside doors.
