<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black">Accessibility for those with disabilities has always been very important, and is now more dynamic and prominent with advanced technologies. NUIs (natural user interfaces)
are those that put the human first – by making use of multiple human senses. They do this with touch screens, speech recognition, camera input, and “haptic” output, such as the way an Apple Watch can gently tap your wrist for a notification. These trends,
along with the accessibility features of mobile devices, are proving to be extremely useful to those with visual impairments, hearing loss, and mobility problems, and also those with autism.

<b>mobile computing is proving to be more empowering for people of all ages and abilities.
</b>Nicole Hennig will show you examples of apps that use these natural interfaces and how people with disabilities are benefiting from these technologies. You’ll also get a list of the best mobile apps in this area, and a guide to learning more about mobile
devices and accessibility.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
