Accessible Innovations through AI💡

We’re proud to share thought leadership featured in the ACM Digital Library: Automated, Context-Aware Alt Text Generation for Educational Documents Using Large Language Models

This research explores how artificial intelligence can make creating alt text easier and more effective, ensuring digital spaces are available to everyone.

Special recognition to Disha Baglodi as the primary author, and to Norah Sinclair, Bruce Walker, and AccessCORPS for their contributions to making course materials accessible.

By leveraging AI, we can automate access at a speed impossible before.

What's better than bats during spooky season? Making sure that everyone can experience them!🦇

In Dr. Abigale Stangl's Inclusive Media Tactile Design Course co-taught with Guy Toles, Industrial Design student Victoria Gamez worked with BLV co-designer Lindsay Yazzolino to create an anatomically correct tactile bat kit.

"Providing BLV users with access to tactile materials on niche topics creates greater opportunities for growth, confidence, and self-expression," says Gamez. "To me, this project is a stepping stone toward making more experiences accessible, fostering independence, and helping others connect with their interests in a meaningful, personal way."
