Redmond - Empowering More People by Building Accessible Apps

This month:Guy Barker from Microsoft CELA

Ever wondered how you can empower more people to achieve more? Well, you can start by building powerful features that can be efficiently leveraged by everyone, regardless of how your customers interact with their device. Whether they input at their device through such things as eye gaze, keyboard, speech, or touch, or consume what your app has to offer through such things as visuals or audio, your customers are relying on you to support their modes of interaction. See demos of all these modes of input and output in action, using a Windows UWP XAML app and Xamarin.Android app, and learn what it took to make all that possible. Most importantly, learn how the demo app’s user experience was improved for everyone, thanks to consideration around accessibility for all!
