Italian sign language and subtitles in MUDEM's immersive itineraries
HANDIMATICA, the Fondazione ASPHI Onlus exhibition and conference dedicated to digital technologies for a society that is inclusive and accessible to everyone, is back in Bologna from 28 to 30 November 2024.
This event is aimed at people with disabilities and their family members, at the world of schools and research, at organizations and firms active in producing aids, and at organizations, associations and people. This year's theme is 'Inclusive digital habitats - Technologies, accessibility and skills as resources for participation'.
The 2024 edition has over 40 events, and includes workshops for testing tools and innovative methodologies and conferences for talking to experts from the sector about the current and future state of innovation for inclusion.
The topics include artificial intelligence, digital technologies and the world of work, living in a digital world, inclusive digital schooling and accessible gaming with set-ups suitable for playing video games.
MUDEM is taking part in the opening day of HANDIMATICA with 'A currency for everyone', consisting of two one-hour meetings that do not have to be booked, scheduled at 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. Staff from the Museum will use illustrative demos to present solutions based on the use of augmented reality, adopted to make future itineraries at the Money Museum accessible to deaf people.
Digital technologies can actually become a resource for creating living environments that are inclusive and encourage participation, with an impact on both everyday quality of life and on the possibility of taking part in experiences involving communication, learning and entertainment, such as a visit to a museum.
On the second day, as part of the 'Money at your fingertips' event, MUDEM will present the features of the tactile itinerary currently being designed for blind and visually impaired people, and illustrate some prototypes of aids that will be made for MUDEM that people can handle and discuss together.
