Solving problems of inclusion and equalityLast year, I gave a talk at the University of York about the Flowers for Turing project. Here’s the video that’s just been released. Hope you all enjoy it.
We’re in the process of running some user-testing for CommuniKate and AzuleJoe. User testing is an interesting proposition for the sort of things that we are building given the extreme ranges of situations that people in AAC deal with. User-testing is that thing that designers don’t want to do because they know their design will […]
The purpose of this post is to show you how easy it is for a hobbyist to retarget AzuleJoe with nothing but Paint and Notepad.
