Digital information, particularly websites, should be transparent, safe and accessible to all. “National and international accessibility laws are slowly being put into practice and are enabling people with specific limitations to participate more fully in the digital world,” explains Regine Gessner, Project Manager for the M-Enabling Forum.
Parallel forums address various target groups. At the opening of the international conference, an EU Commission representative will be speaking about the current status of the European Accessibility Act. In the afternoon, parallel forums will take a closer look at solutions for an independent life at home and on the go that are suitable for the elderly. The forums also focus on technologies for barrier-free work places as well as inclusive digital offers in the education sector.
The M-Enabling Forum will be hosted in room 3 at the Congress Center Düsseldorf Süd (CCD Süd). The conference is accompanied by an exhibition in the foyer, where companies and sponsors present new aids and services for a barrier-free, independent life. Among them are acoustic aids for the hearing impaired, for example, as well as screen reading systems for the blind.
A particular highlight at the event is the live virtual reality showcase, which simulates various visual impairments and blindness as well as a tremor as an example of motor disorders. Using virtual reality glasses, conference participants can immerse themselves in various scenarios and gain tangible, first-hand experience of these limitations.
