[AI] Capable even if Disabled - the Hindu

[Rahul Bajaj]

Hi All,

This may come across as self-promotion, but I wrote in the Hindu recently on 
the SC's judgment on the blind becoming judges - 
https://www.thehindu.com/opinion/op-ed/capable-even-if-disabled/article26114481.ece

I realized that it has not been shared thus far, and others might benefit from 
reading it. 

Best,
Rahul

[AI] Blind musician

[Kanchan Pamnani]

A blind musician takes the stage with a bold vision - Times of India 

Sep 17, 2018, 07.14 AM IST Printed from The roads are clogged with
Ganeshotsav celebrations and the traffic chaotic. Moving at a snail's pace,
when you finally reach the hotel in Cuffe Parade, almost 45 minutes late,
the OBE-awarded Indian multiinstrumentalist Baluji Shrivastav shows no signs
of annoyance. Instead he smiles as he clutches your hand warmly and leads
you to a chair next to him. OBE, for the uninitiated, stands for the
much-coveted UK honour, Order of the British Empire. Stylishly attired in a
leopard-print shirt and beige trousers and sipping on mojito seated across
his singer-songwriter wife Linda Shanson, Shrivastav speaks in an enthused
voice, never looking away from his listener for even a second. The
68-year-old, who excels in sitar, surbahar, dilruba, pakhavaj and table, has
accompanied Stevie Wonder in Hyde Park and Coldplay at the Paralympics
closing ceremony, and recorded with Annie Lennox, Massive Attack and Oasis,
was only eight months old when he was diagnosed with glaucoma and has lived
without sight ever since. For Shrivastav, what could be worse than having no
sight is having no vision. So, apart from performing before world leaders
and with the best of musicians, together with his wife he founded Baluji
Music Foundation in 2008 and later the Inner Vision Orchestra-the UK's only
orchestra of blind and visually impaired musicians-inspired by the 11th
chapter of the Bhagavad Gita that explores the interplay between light and
darkness. The orchestra arose from findings in a survey report titled 'Blind
to the Facts' that Shrivastav had commissioned in 2015 to look into the
needs of blind and partially sighted musicians in the UK for the Arts
Council of England. It identified the need for more performance
opportunities for musicians in particular who found it more difficult than
sighted musicians to do the essential networking required to find work.
"It's very difficult to find blind musicians because they're hidden, often
not knowing that people want to find them and because of the UK's data
protection policy," says Linda. "So, we'd talk to blind people on the
streets, at meetings and events, and push them gently." Today, this project,
which earned Shrivastav the OBE in 2016, works actively in addressing the
imbalance in much of the British music industry and tries to instill in
differently-abled musicians the confidence to pursue music independently. On
Monday, Shrivastav and his Inner Vision Orchestra, including visually
impaired musicians picked from across India, will take centrestage at the
Royal Opera House with Antardrishti, a performance featuring regional folk,
classical vocals and instrumental music, accompanied by a pop-up of Braille
tactile art works created by visually impaired students from SIES College,
Sion. Based in London's Islington, Shrivastav was born in Usmanpur in Agra
district, UP, neither into a wellknown musical dynasty nor guided by any
famous gharanas. "Mine is a simple story," he insists. "What I call: A
journey from village to privilege." His flair for music, he claims, came
along since he was two, "singing along with AIR, at weddings, and making
music with cups and bowls". At six, he was placed in the Gwalior Blind
School and soon became an asset for the institution when he picked up the
sitar, outperformed older kids and started conducting the orchestra at nine,
having devised a non-visual way to communicate with his fellow musicians
using a xylophone. "Every time I hit a specific note it conveyed a specific
instruction-louder, softer, faster, slower," he explained. Shrivastav worked
as a musical demonstrator in shops when a chance encounter with a French
tourist and his curiosity about the sitar took Shrivastav to Belvedere in
1981, and then to Paris, where he met his artiste wife, and later to London
where he settled down. With 200 musicians enrolled with the foundation now,
out-of-town concert calls see an army of 10-20 musicians from different
countries, three guide dogs and a bundle of instruments travelling out of
London loaded with sounds that straddle Iran, Lebanon, Afghanistan, India
and Nigeria, to gospel, blues, ragas and Western classical. And it's not
just about the joy of playing; Shrivastav also finds ways to impart life
hacks to those with low vision. "I recently discovered a way to take selfies
and make recordings of our own music," he gushes.

Dear Sir/Madam,



Greetings from National Association of the Deaf (NAD)!

National Association of the Deaf in partnership with Microsoft India
invites you to the Empowering for Inclusion Summit, organised on 15th
and 16th February, 2019 in New Delhi.

Technology, as we are aware, is the greatest enabler for persons with
disabilities. Assistive technologies such as screen-readers, braille
displays as also mainstream technologies such as smartphones, Windows
10 and Office 365 offer several possibilities to persons with
disabilities to reduce or overcome barriers encountered by them. In
more recent times, emerging technologies like Artificial Intelligence,
Internet of Things, Machine Learnings etc., when applied for people
with disabilities, tremendously help plug existing gaps and
substantially improve scope for independent living.

It is to deliberate on the existing challenges and opportunities in
creating, promoting and disseminating accessible and appropriate
technology solutions for people with disabilities that we invite you
to join us for the Summit.

Please find attached the agenda and concept note for the programme.
Please confirm your participation by filling the

Registration form for Empowering for Inclusion Summit. On earliest

[AI] Clew, a revolutionary indoor navigation for iOS

[Satguru Rathi]

Can someone test this app and report its usage? I no longer have the iOS 
device so this request.



OVERVIEW

Clew is a path retracing app designed for blind and visually impaired 
users to help them independently return to any desired locations.
Using Apple's new ARKit built for iOS 11 devices, Clew records a path 
and guides the user back to their starting location with a choice of 
voice directions, sound effects, and haptic feedback. FEATURES

 HOW IT WORKS

Augmented reality, exemplified by Apple's ARKit, superimposes virtual 
elements onto the real world. In this case, we add virtual "keypoints" 
to navigate you through unknown areas.


What it does
• As you walk to a location, your phone keeps track of its path with a 
series of virtual crumbs.
• After you get there, your phone simplifies the path to a series of 
"keypoints" where you made a turn or used a stairway.
• As you navigate back, your phone will give you instructions to each 
point, in reverse order, until you reach your starting location again.
• You're now back at your seat, classroom, or restaurant table. Enjoy 
yourself

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is Clew?
Clew is an indoor, path tracing navigation app built for blind and 
visually impaired users. It is designed to remember a location like a 
seat or a room and assist you to return to that destination after 
exploring your surrounding environment.

How can I get Clew?
Clew is available for free on the App Store and is compatible with 
iPhone 6s and newer models running iOS11. For the full haptic 
experience, iPhone 7 and newer is recommended.


What’s the best way to use Clew?
To ensure that the camera is fully capturing your surroundings, hold the 
phone in a vertical portrait position with the camera facing away from 
you while you use Clew. Also, make sure the camera is fairly stable to 
ensure accurate location tracking.

In what environment does Clew work best?
Clew works best in well lit areas with distinct visual features and few 
moving objects like crowds and cars. Although Clew can be used outdoors, 
it is not as accurate in open areas and intense sunlight. Clew works 
optimally indoors over relatively short distances.


What is the pause feature?
You can pause Clew once you arrive at your destination and before you 
start navigating back. Press the pause button on the bottom right corner 
and follow the instructions. Once Clew is paused, you can exit the app 
to do other tasks or lock the phone as long as you don’t shut down Clew 
from the app switcher. When you are ready to return, press the resume 
button and follow the instructions to start tracking.

How can I report a problem?
Please use Clew at your own discretion. Clew's ability to track your 
movement through a space can be affected by many factors (lighting 
conditions, the orientation at which you hold your phone, etc.), and 
therefore may not function correctly all the time. Help us improve the 
system by rating your routes as good or bad. Bad routes will examined to 
further refine the app. If you'd like to offer additional feedback, the 
easiest way to do so is to e-mail the Clew team.

CONTACT
Tell us about your Clew experience by sending the Clew team an e-mail.
Designed by a research group at Olin College of Engineering



Best,

Satguru.

[AI] Here's an opportunity to tell your inspiring story to the world.

[Sujitha J]

Have an inspiring story to tell?

If your story is transformational, positive and inspiring, you have
every reason to tell that story. Your experience could be an
eye-opener for people reading it. You might motivate people to
transform their own lives or create the change they desire. Your story
can be the spark for a positive society.

That’s why we’re asking you to tell us your story.

Now, who’re we?

Our job is to write stories as they’re told. We’re professionally
equipped to act as a medium for people to narrate their struggles and
successes without letting our style or voice interfere. That’s what we
do while writing for newspapers. Now we want that experience to help
tell transformative stories, be it an individual’s struggle to
overcome his/her disability or an entrepreneur living his dream, or an
innovator designing a technology that changes the way ordinary people
live or work. Putting all these stories together in a single knowledge
repository is our humble effort towards creating a positive change.

How we do it?

Our biweekly newsletter ManifestTheChange has already touched many
students and professionals looking to transform their lives. The
newsletter is rapidly gaining authenticity as a self-help journal that
goes beyond infortainment and engages people in a positive dialogue
towards creating opportunities for everyone.

What you need to do?
If you have a compelling story, write a 200 word profile about
yourself, your job/career and how you think your story can be
transformational and inspiring for our readers. ManifestTheChange is
the place where your story would sound authentic and compelling. We
only make sense without sensationalising.

Here’s the email to reach us: sujitha.upb...@gmail.com

Re: [AI] Clew, a revolutionary indoor navigation for iOS

[Sagar Verma]

Hi there, I do have a similar application, which is very popular amongst the 
Blind community, named blind Square. Which provides indoor and outdoor 
navigation.

It’s a paid application on iOS,

I’m using this at the moment, it
Works like a charm, the developer is very active also.
If you don’t mind is it possible for you to provide the actual link to the 
application? So I can investigate?
If my memory serves me correctly, Microsoft has launched something similar cold 
soundscape also.
With kind regards
Sagar.

Subject: [AI] Clew, a revolutionary indoor navigation for iOS

Can someone test this app and report its usage? I no longer have the iOS device 
so this request.


OVERVIEW

Clew is a path retracing app designed for blind and visually impaired 
users to help them independently return to any desired locations.
Using Apple's new ARKit built for iOS 11 devices, Clew records a path 
and guides the user back to their starting location with a choice of 
voice directions, sound effects, and haptic feedback. FEATURES
  HOW IT WORKS

Augmented reality, exemplified by Apple's ARKit, superimposes virtual 
elements onto the real world. In this case, we add virtual "keypoints" 
to navigate you through unknown areas.

What it does
• As you walk to a location, your phone keeps track of its path with a 
series of virtual crumbs.
• After you get there, your phone simplifies the path to a series of 
"keypoints" where you made a turn or used a stairway.
• As you navigate back, your phone will give you instructions to each 
point, in reverse order, until you reach your starting location again.
• You're now back at your seat, classroom, or restaurant table. Enjoy 
yourself
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is Clew?
Clew is an indoor, path tracing navigation app built for blind and 
visually impaired users. It is designed to remember a location like a 
seat or a room and assist you to return to that destination after 
exploring your surrounding environment.
How can I get Clew?
Clew is available for free on the App Store and is compatible with 
iPhone 6s and newer models running iOS11. For the full haptic 
experience, iPhone 7 and newer is recommended.

What’s the best way to use Clew?
To ensure that the camera is fully capturing your surroundings, hold the 
phone in a vertical portrait position with the camera facing away from 
you while you use Clew. Also, make sure the camera is fairly stable to 
ensure accurate location tracking.
In what environment does Clew work best?
Clew works best in well lit areas with distinct visual features and few 
moving objects like crowds and cars. Although Clew can be used outdoors, 
it is not as accurate in open areas and intense sunlight. Clew works 
optimally indoors over relatively short distances.

What is the pause feature?
You can pause Clew once you arrive at your destination and before you 
start navigating back. Press the pause button on the bottom right corner 
and follow the instructions. Once Clew is paused, you can exit the app 
to do other tasks or lock the phone as long as you don’t shut down Clew 
from the app switcher. When you are ready to return, press the resume 
button and follow the instructions to start tracking.
How can I report a problem?
Please use Clew at your own discretion. Clew's ability to track your 
movement through a space can be affected by many factors (lighting 
conditions, the orientation at which you hold your phone, etc.), and 
therefore may not function correctly all the time. Help us improve the 
system by rating your routes as good or bad. Bad routes will examined to 
further refine the app. If you'd like to offer additional feedback, the 
easiest way to do so is to e-mail the Clew team.
