Wonderful to see developments like this being made 📱
Technology giant Apple is set to introduce a new set of accessibility tools to its devices.
Available to users with newer models of the iPhone and iPad Pro, the door detection tool will use the firm’s Lidar scanner alongside the device camera to spot doors when a user arrives at a new location.The tool will also describe its attributes so the user knows how to open it, read signs and symbols around the door, and provide further information such as building or office number, with the aim of helping those who are blind or have low vision.
That tool is to be joined by a new accessibility tool for the Apple Watch, with a new pairing tool to enable users to control the smartwatch from a connected iPhone, which will also allow people with physical and motor disabilities to control their Watch using voice commands and other actions. Sarah Herrlinger, senior director of accessibility policy and initiatives at Apple, said: “Apple embeds accessibility into every aspect of our work, and we are committed to designing the best products and services for everyone.
