or, and most of them develop that condition over the course of their lives. so it could, in theory, effect anyone. but how can tech help? let's find out on shift. imagine waking up one day to find your world, looking at something like this, or this, or even like this. people with visual impairments see the world differently and often have to learn new ways of navigating it. they might rely on others or on tools like walking canes. braille is also especially helpful, but recent advances, and now i might add one or 2 more to that toolbox, like this very special guy, dog. right, but dogs soon to be taking the lead in the glass. well, in theory they can do just about everything necessary. catapults can only this quite depend doesn't get distracted, no breaks and it can be shut off when not needed. navigating via census and cameras, the robot dog can even identified traffic lights the gym,

and i can tell her right about where i'm going. volume voice recognition, i can control the speed with this pain going to so a lot of the, the mom was, oh god, how crazy. if i need to go falls. i just push it all the way forward once. yeah. if i need it to slow down, i just put it back and then we'll adjust it speed. uh this could be a huge development for the blind in china. whether they're only 400 guide books in service in china, we have about 20000000 blind people when it's impossible to solve this problem with the guide books in their own research into robo dogs for the blind isn't just exclusive to china. however, the research is at the university of glasgow in scotland. their biggest challenge is navigation. and so how will robots find their way around?

gps is pretty reliable when outdoors but problems arise inside buildings and confront spaces. so how can we solve this? wouldn't be developing something like this, and it's a mix. it all for several things. we'd use computer vision, we use the to the technology with it to scan the whole environment and to get to understand with each of jeff, each killer, each of the sticker is and need to memorize order. members. this should enable robot dogs to guard people safely in those like in this museum, and even using speech that some large language models. so this up, so this one. so it's kind of hard in simulates calling about the soonest. so the adult can answer questions about it surroundings providing information about the route. and that's just the beginning. we want to put this technology onto a v robot. we also want to put this in a normal human. i do

a lot and also such kind of gone through board so that the end, the user, the have the have a different whether i thought god adults will catch on is not on the question of resolving the technical issues. but also about finding one to buy in the 1st place and how much they could cost. but they might be a cheap and simple option and improving what's already available might be more viable in the short term. it's time to update the classic watts. we will continue to the help of ion cutting edge tech could be k and improving access for the visually impaired equipped with cameras. incense. is this a oh i came from guidance, can god uses even alone, pre defined groups. it recognizes obstacles, multiple cards and can even describe its surroundings. acoustically working space can be set to suit individual needs. and according to its manufacturers,

the ios smart came from we will recognize as obstacles, not only on the ground, but also at test and one level. and with the accessible app you'll, kane can bring you to the nearest bus stop. and once that it informs you, which buses are leaving next. once on board, it'll tell you when you've reached your final destination. the highlight glasses like all cam or and vision glasses also i promise better navigation through every day. last full, the visually impaired, but ambulance except to be the it's great for people with visual impairments. it brings us closer to our goal and allows us, can you access to information? for example, people use to send means to people with disabilities. then what could they do? nothing because they couldn't see them. but now it allows us to read means to read text. it gives us image descriptions, it gives us descriptions of videos for you, but he believes that this technology won't be widely available for some time to

come in the moon. don't i? you world might end in columbia. a lot of people are unemployed. it may be, but they, i to, which would be a huge help for people with disabilities. i mean these many people with wizard impairments are unemployed and don't have the financial means to buy a new device. so how can we buy these devices and how can we connect them to the internet? you in bogota, the cafeteria of columbia. there's no neighborhood where you won't find the internet connection, but it's very different. invalid area spinning now, it's not uncommon. i models such as chat j pay to you to be integrated to you for recognizing the use of environment and helping them accordingly until now that was often done by family members or human assistance. this next up brings these 2 approaches together. developers of bay my eyes, one to use a chessboard in there and uses will be able to take a picture which is analyzed and described with a book based on chap, fate pay tape. and if the audio it gets stuck, real people can still be called in to help, as well as the case before. the allows blonde people to request assistance pay

my eyes sends a request to volunteers, matching language and time zones. the 1st volunteer to respond is connected to the person seeking help. the app then transmits video to the volunteer via the use of the camera. this allows problems to be solved together, such as small tasks like reading out labels, helping with groceries, or even withdrawing cache from an atm. yep. so just really, there we go. i've just felt one. anyone can register in the app as a volunteer or a visually impaired user, and there's no limit to the length or number of calls. the app also helps when it comes to problems with products. to do this, it establishes a direct connection to customer service representatives on the companies and

especially trying to advise people with visual impairments. the going to the movies can be victoriously difficult for visually impaired people that has long been a lack of good audio descriptions for what's happening up on the screen. but for the past few years, the free upgrade to has offered a solution and additional sound track for blind movie lovers. but when it comes to video games, things a quite different. they tend to be visually orientated and impossible to play without good eyesight spot. i start up from lovesick wants to change all that and develop video games the selected n blonde players. look, that means focusing primarily on sound. it's pretty tightened here. let's move quickly. come on. so most players video games are a visual experience. is k, this huge peggy, who is visually impaired? oh, i bumped into the wall again. the sounds and vibrations of

a game that god to listen to the sounds help me find it. i can see when i play the game, i rely on a cruise to cues, for example, a fairy or some voice that says, you have to go this way much. and course the noise gets loud. uh, i know that i'm getting close and you know, if it gets quite side of them, i know that i'm moving away from it doesn't give me stuff on the panel for the blind and visually impaired gaming has long been inaccessible, inclusive gaming a lovesick start up is working to change that. now players are also guided by spatial audio. the sounds in the game a 3 dimensional. for example, we can locate a person speaking behind us without saying the challenge then is to artificially reproduce this natural sound conception. you have to find a way to transform it into audio or maybe into a headaches that control every person you can. yeah. create very a massive audio environments, extra the with

a space the audio. ready this allows players to enjoy the experience and ensures a cool opportunity on this mike, i'm so pushing lovely. i don't want to deal with that every day. i just want to switch off some times, so i can come in addition to 3 days, sound of the team is also working on games that include audio descriptions, the goal more accessibility. but reaching the target audience is not always an easy task. many blind people, not so much, so i'm on social media and i can start grammar take, take talk because that's maybe the share media. so it's actually kind of hard to, to reach that once this hurdle is either come, no additional equipment is needed to play the games each destiny to a computer and to receive a special audio. you would need at the developed to say that this is just the 1st

step, inclusive gaming is still a budding concert. it's going to a very positive way and we see big companies bringing accessibility, especially for blind and visually impaired people to some of their games. i don't think it would be the case for all games to him that you have like an accessibility setting. copeland, people, they believe gaming, inclusive future is broad. nobody should feel excluded in every day. was that says truth, non disabled people, as it is for those of us with disabilities, which opens up a brand new way to say that no immense us without saying the ways thanks to this headset face, to turn on to win gold at the next world power athletics championships, this is this, it's important to understand that opposite goods and that's where my motto, no limits comes into play, are really most in our head. it's important to find solutions and be creative,

isn't it? spinning doctor teeth design, then became blind at the age of 6 at the same he started. so i think his father is always with him as mentor and god connected via the headset. he tells him with as obstacles and other stuff as defense own senses are equally important. if you concentrate and listen, you content a lot from the sound of the wave meaning with the white water, whereas the most trouble and how does the sound change and the distance? and that also changes depending on where you are on the way for the percentage. and robotics are taking tools, the people with visual impairments to the next level. but this is by no means the end of exciting new developments with the technology research as have long been working on brain implants to restore vision. but of course, that introduces a wide range of ethical questions. what do you think?

let us know and see next on, on shift the this shadow as these pop costs and video should lice on the donkey street. the devastating colonial horror is infected by germany across and he employed scores to post tactics, good farms and destroy livestock. what is the legacy of this wide spread races, depression? today? history. we need to talk about here the stories, shadows of german colonialism. the

use of to the full of the fun in november 9, the hard working hy.
