Digital Modernization Through Accessibility
summary
Half of US users search by voice daily and three out of four Gen Z watch videos with captions, so accessibility is now mainstream; the talk demos concrete tools like Navigator.vibrate one-liner for haptics, speech synthesis and two-line speech recognition examples, and MediaPipe (open source on-device ML) for face, pose and gesture mapping. Surprising diagnostics: 85% of Facebook videos play muted with captions and roughly two-thirds of images lack meaningful alt text; a real-world audit of 20,000 product images shows missing alt text breaks SEO and sales.
