Defining Deep Accessibility (or how to make Mustikka-rahkapizza)
To make Mustikka-rahkapizza, you need vettä. It’s a recipe I learnt while in Helsinki on holiday, but I could not have learnt this without my smart translator app which uses a combination of camera, OCR, and translation engine to give me a view onto that recipe I would not normally have. In this case the paper recipe was made accessible by my translator application; which added value by converting and adding information via a computational process. This idea then of different views onto information, or functionality, adding new meaning by performing some computational process is just the kind of deep accessibility I’ve been thinking about recently; and maybe isn’t our usual conception of accessibility.
