How do you handle large fonts at high zoom?:
The ability to adjust font sizes is perhaps one of the most common aspects of accessibility. But how do you deal with fonts that are already relatively large even without zooming? If, for example, large headlines are scaled proportionally, this often leads to long words being cut off. In my presentation I would like to explain this problem in more detail and present various approaches for resolving it.

10 minute break

Global legal accessibility trends:
A review of what’s going on in accessibility in litigation and regulations. I will look at Accessible Canada, EAA, AB 2143, CCPA, UK post-Brexit, and US case law.

Bryce Johnson, Co-inventor of the Xbox Adaptive Controller. Inclusive Lead, Microsoft Devices. https://www.linkedin.com/in/brycejohnson/
When everybody plays, we all win:
Game controllers are around 50 years old and have greatly evolved over their history. Their evolution strove to provide more options, but they were mostly ergonomically optimized for someone with typical ability with their hands. The start of the Xbox Adaptive Controller was recognizing that this optimization was unintentionally excluding people from gaming. We will discuss how the Xbox Adaptive Controller can open up gaming for people who can’t use a traditional game controller by showing techniques of how to adapt the game controller to the individual.
