Something cool that is not happening in London for once!

I love this, it's so heartening to see engineering students working on something that's actually about disabled inclusion rather than disability dongles like "what if your white cane needed an app."

Lancaster engineers enable people with sight loss to “touch and see” museum exhibits

Happily, I have a connection to Lancaster that I can exploit to see friends as well as go see this! I'm really interested in the "haptic stand," as well as the lithophanes (first time I've heard of those!).

That's very interesting, and I'd like to know how the experience goes if you get the opportunity to work with these installations. This feels like one of those things that might be useful because it was trialed with and gets feedback from people who actually have the conditions that they're trying to find accessibility for.
