Hi Gerry,
Do you know if partially sighted tv viewers feature in the experiment?
Just curious!
I think audio description can sometimes be very useful, in scenes shot in
semi-darkness, or fast action, for example.

Eamonn

Hi,
She is very interested in the area. She went all the way to Barcelona for a
conference on research on access to TV and that is where I met her. I was
in
Barcelona for another conference and dropped into that one for half a day.
Take care,
Gerry Ellis
If you don’t know where you’re going,

Hi Gerry,
Thanks for passing this one on. I'd heard about someone looking at this,
but the person who mentioned it didn't know the name and a Google didn't
reveal anything. Looks interesting work.
Best,
Dónal
