0 destiny that i want to break barriers and show that whether or not you have a disability, you can flourish and enjoy death love at ease. oh no very nice hoax by taking center stage to help others spread their wings. that's all the news for now. staging for all technology shall shift. it takes a look at how gadgets help people with disabilities lead more independent vision from one use a ton of the, the people in trucks injured when trying to feed the city center. more and more refugees are being turned away. to these traits extreme

getting 200 people for more than 300000000 people are seeking us because no one should have to make up your own mind. double you made for mines, and there are many gadgets that help people with disabilities sleep more independent lice, for example, glasses that stuff. title spoken conversations in real time for deaf people or a smart walking stick that detects obstacles with ultrasonic wave. for people with low vision tech for more inclusivity, that's our topic on shift today. the,

when you see robots acting as servers and cars face, they're typically replacing human employees. but there's a cafe in japan that does things differently. the robots here enable people with disabilities to take part and work wise, but remotely from their own homes. when customers talk to these little robots, they're not talking to in the i system that's talking to a real person. like for me, call me or she controls the robot from home. she's one of about 50 people with physical mental disabilities. working as robot offering says up to one cafe in tokyo, japan. she takes customers oldest through the robots and makes recommendations. the big a robots themselves of food and drinks. the idea is to give people who comp leave the homes due to health reasons, but want to work the opportunity to do so. ready again, so you've got as long as on the lives of them,

i want to give something back to the community by working and then you go kind of getting. thank you buddy. you're moving with this reach your mind says he talks to his customers about everything from his health to the weather. so you put a menu dirty for that. i feel happy if i can be a part of society, you will see that the will go, the more you must read. he may wrote, books are equipped with a camera microphone and speaker, allowing customers to talk directly to the operator. put them into a case study. you mean customers don't really come here to see a reason. they wouldn't come in and we'll go and they come here because of the people behind to reconnect it and they will come back to see them again. and the cafe is operated by or a level retreat. the tech stalls up develops. robots like really made to come about loneliness. the technology helps breakdown battery is for people with disabilities . don't have favorites people with and without disabilities together. a 1st step to

what grades are inclusion. assistive technology refers to products that a people who, for example, can't hear or see, or who are missing a body part. the market for this kind of tech is huge because more than the 1000000000 people worldwide live with some form of disability. like jessica smith from australia. she was born with i've left for arm. the former paralympic swimmer is now a disability awareness advocate and relies on the help of technology. i'm not trying to hide who i am, i'm adding and sort of expanding on who i am as a pass and by being able to access technology that's never been available before her high tech prosthetic link operates using artificial intelligence and can learn 14 different groups. this next clip of jessica smiths grocery shopping, demonstrates just how well this tech works and action. so truly

so i have 3 children, a 6 year old, a 4 year old and a 2 year old and they all the kids are very excited about it. i think it's amazing that i'm my coffee and hoffer. i bought a few and half robots display on it. prosthetic can give off that impression. the device converts electrical impulses from the upper arm muscles into finger booth, with a special laughter associates group. patterns with circling muscle movements uses can configure with themselves at home. we are allowed technicians to do it remotely . so we've tried to building the technology which allows it to connect to the hand anyway, basically in a world unchanged configuration of the device instantaneously on the fly for the customer. the sensor bracelets is being tested at the university of sydney and australia is designed to detect the slightest movements of attendance which controlled huns the supper movements and then transmitted by a bluetooth to

a program. who taught you a copy of the tunnel like that and move your fingers a little bit. you will see tiny vibrations happening in your wrist. and this, that's how our party moves so fingers. so all the sensor actually pick up those vibrations and we use machine learning any i to make sense of those vibrations to figure out which finger is moving and how much due to a medical condition area. and sha has limited mobility in his left hand. he's testing the sensor bracelets by playing simple computer games. this movements are interpreted into the game. it's a lot less movement that you need to use it though it's best to august highest. we can make me a bit more functional with my left hand. like, especially for our computers perspective, like studying and using it all day. there are many projects around the world. it's focused on the sense of touch at the university of preston buquet. researchers are

working on simulating the different layers of human skin to allow robots to have a real human touch. disc come in handy for making future prosthetics. we treat the print that similar structure intel off efficient skin so that it can respond to contact in a similar way to the human skin. but instead of having know if i things, we instead mounts a camera in sight, the sensor where you can see the cable make something here. so that picks up not stop listening, supposed to feel like the structures inside this office visual skin. so cameras are being used to simulate human touch. what a fascinating approach. cameras are also used as a tool for people who are blind or have low vision. take this scheduled for example . it can be attached to glasses. users can turn in the direction of the given text and either give a voice command or press their finger down to have it read aloud. the i can be

trained to recognize certain products and faces to the development of these devices often involve the same technology that's used in other sectors like autonomy, us driving. the technology that's used to keep a ton of miss vehicles on the road is also useful for pedestrians. this 5 had got just helps blinds and people with low vision navigate the cities. the cameras imbedded in the device detect obstacles within a 170 degree angle warming uses with 3 d sounds. mentioned that like this. if an object is moving towards the user and there's the risk of a collision bypass warren's done with a sound. similar to parking assisted modern cars. if there's an object on your left, you'll hear the obstacle on your left hand side for sounds indicate where the obstacle is. there a different sounds depending on whether it's a call cause an open steps in the way the defendants as the bypass, as

a supplement to a walking stick with one big advantage it wounds uses about obstacles that had level to this smoke gadget has 7 of features but instead it attaches to a classic walking stick. we walk, uses ultrasonics tense isn't vibrate. so when there are obstacles nearby uses can connect the device to the phone by a bluetooth and then use the touch pad to access google maps and virtual assistant . all, well, keep on the phone and tucked away. a smart walking stick. that's cool. and for people who are deaf or hard of hearing, they're a smart glasses. they neighbor users to read conversations in real time by converting spoken words into sub titles. diana martin is deaf. she's trying on smart glasses for the 1st time with a friend. jacqueline press from x ray class. can you see anything that's

what i was hoping to use. cuz this is a new way of being able to communicate. i'd be include the idea behind this tech is one that's already well known for movies subtitling. but these augmented reality classes convert spoken words into text and projected instantaneously. this enables spoken conversations to be more inclusive to death. people as the founder of death kids international. steve croup explains, i might not quite catch everything, but this has given me a real time now a test which enables me to be informed. it may lead to be involved in with me to make decisions because i know what is being said. voice recognition algorithms quickly converts spoken language into readable text, which i think that audio stream from the microphone on the gloss as we're running through a piece of transcription software,

which users have probably seen before. and the ability to set audio insights of captions. well wait, during that, we've been taking those captions. i'm putting them in say open to the reality impact system. the connect to your connected death, people with sign language interpreters via video call. the interpret spoken language into sign language and sign language and speech. this helps death, people lead more independence lives scenarios for the cause, our back interview, opening an account problem with any of found hostetter scenarios, some emergency scenarios where uh, communication is very important. of course, communication is crucial and creating a society that's more inclusive to people with disabilities. and communication can happen through music to american dance. a robert wexler aims to make music accessible to all people, no matter their physical or mental capabilities. most everyone could dogs and even

the slightest movement produced a sound that was the goal american dumpster roman wexler, set for himself in developing the motion composer. it's been a minor with us, or i believe we're all done. so there's, there's more organizations. and that's the principle behind the motion composer. think about it, enables us all to experience those instincts on people with all capabilities. mention it all a face type. ready? back in the mid 19 seventy's, robert wexler began experimenting with motion tracking in new york. you were quoted dunces, movements using body centers, and then convert the movement data into sounds that lead the foundation for the motion. composer which create sounds based on people's gestures. to achieve this, a 3 d camera film, the person's movements software then converts to sequences into corresponding

sounds. the system detects even the smallest motions. the motion composes houston syrup, usually clinics and intrusive schools. many are moved by the ability to express themselves autistic lead through movement in life and re most people are overcome with emotions and joy. so it's not unusual to see people crying their workshops via tears of joy and bounce of workshops also right? as the dawn. so robert wexler has often stood on the spot in line with the motion composer. she's created a stage for people who are too often overlooked. i love seeing technology act as an aide for people to better express themselves. and if it helps people with disabilities feel more secure, confident, and included in society, we've made a small step of progress. what kind of tools would you want brighten and let us know for you next time the

we on the 15th of the entertainment industry. why do you think that fully content should be related in our nation coming on the page? you have to pay for your own music to be fit in your own culture and we stop. so what's the value on ours? what is the we forward on themes? encourage our people go beacon based on white, i mix people for them in the 77 percent next on d, w, making the headlines and what's behind them. dw news africa, the show that faculty issues shaping the continents slowly getting back to normal here. well, in the streets to give you in the report on the inside correspondence with on the
