What will happen in your session?

Tired of jumping from session to session and rushing around? Then come relax and take the weight off your feet with some origami. Participants during the session will be given a web based interactive origami tutorial which adapts to the user and prototype tools used to create the experience. After participants experience the interactive origami, we will then discuss with participants how they would use these tools to create their own accessible experiences and get feedback on the tools.
The tutorial allows users to control camera angle, view diagrams and subtitles, adjust speaker vs background audio volume, repeat steps and will wait for the user. All of these features combine to make the experience inclusive and accessible.

What is the goal or outcome of your session?

The goal of the session is to show participants the advantages of object based media and adaptive storytelling including the advantages for accessibility and inclusion. The origami experience shows several accessibility and inclusion features such as: -Multiple camera views for those with less 3D spatial awareness -Subtitles that move around based on what is on screen -Independent adjustment of background audio and speech We also hope to get across that object based media can also be used for many more accessibility and inclusion features such as inserting extra narrative detail for neurodiverse audiences and presenting different visual experiences for different audiences. By the end we also hope to get them thinking about what adaptive stories they would make.

If your session requires additional materials or electronic equipment, please outline your needs.

Few chairs and a table to do origami folding at

Thanks for getting the submission in on time @thomaspreeceBBC and everyone! To clarify - would you plan to bring a load of devices for people to use to do this, or are you expecting attendees to use their own phones/tablets?

Also cc @cubicgarden in case he's interested

We would be bringing a few tablets for people to use but for larger numbers of people we'd be expecting participants to use their own devices as the demo is publicly available on the internet, and will play on smartphones, laptops and tablets owned by the majority of mozfest attendees.

As a side, I'm just wondering where the content entered into How will you deal with varying numbers of participants in your session? What if 30 participants attend? What if there are 3? and After the festival, how will you and your participants take the learning and activities forward? questions has disappeared to, I assume mozfest folks can still see what was entered into those questions? If not I'll post it into the issue.

@jontutcher I'm very aware and interested, cheers

Thanks for clarifying, @thomaspreeceBBC. Just to clarify, this is a Gallery style proposal, not session, right? As in, at some designated times, folks can walk in/out of this exercise?

[thomaspreeceBBC]

@danielryne That is correct. We also submitted a workshop proposal https://github.com/MozillaFestival/mozfest-program-2018/issues/386 if that is more of interest.
