    @JeffBishop is the best! He & his incredible team are doing amazing things for @bitsacb & for the #Blind & #LowVision community as a whole, which is why I took the opportunity to become a life member when they offered it for half price around Thanksgiving last year.

  28. Accessibility in action!

    PCB is proud to highlight Chris Hunsinger, Golden Triangle Council of the Blind President, as she tests Pittsburgh Regional Transit’s new Ready2Ride fare card vending machines.

    Chris is helping evaluate accessibility features for riders who are blind or have low vision.

    Accessible transportation matters. Fare machines, kiosks, apps, and transit systems should be usable by everyone.

  32. 🌐💙 Happy Global Accessibility Awareness Day from PCB!

    Today reminds us that accessibility must be part of everything we create.

    Accessibility means alt text, screen reader friendly design, labeled buttons, keyboard navigation, accessible PDFs, audio description, clear headings, and good contrast.

    Accessibility is not extra. It is a right, not a luxury.

  37. My hope is that both Samsung and Google take into consideration the backlash over privacy concerns with Google Glass, and its negative affect on those who are blind or have low vision and depend on this technology.

    What are your thoughts about smart glasses and how they can be used to benefit the visually impaired?

  42. Aira at the 2025 NYC Blind Travel Foundation Media Weekend!

    Aira is proud to sponsor the 2025 Blind Travel Foundation, providing visual interpreting minutes for grant winners' travel projects. We joined grant winners, co-sponsors (Two Blind Brothers & Feeldom), and the BTF team for a weekend of connection and exploration.

    A highlight was a tactile tour of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, enhanced by Aira's geofencing for free visual interpreting and AI. The tour brought exhibits to life through visuals, textures, and an amazing guide.

    We're excited for our third year partnering with this impactful organization and eager to follow upcoming projects, including an accessible outdoor guide, a blind music education podcast, and a video series on blind history. Learn more: blindtravel.org/

  44. Hot take? 1080p is just great. I can’t really tell the difference with 4K. However, I do have 20/40 vision (even with glasses) so that might have something to do with it 😂

  45. Went to the Vista Center for Blind and Visually Impaired in Santa Cruz today. It was for a combination of personal and professional reasons: (1) I'm blind / low-vision and need local resources and community, and (2) I'm looking for local business connections for my new accessibility nonprofit, Brain Computer Enterprises, Cooperative Inc. ( @bce ). It was a very helpful and productive first visit on both fronts!

  47. Went on a 1 hour ride on my BMX bike yesterday. It's been over a year since my last ride. Moved to a new house, new neighborhood. I'm blind, legally, so finding a place with no people that I might hit is the key. It was rainy yesterday, so I went down to the local basketball court and did circles and figure eights. I'm feeling it in my arms are legs this morning. I'm inspired to learn flatland BMX tricks, but I'm just a beginner and just trying not to fall off for now. :-P
