[Music] yo it’s my pleasure today to talk to you
yo it’s my pleasure today to talk to you
yo it’s my pleasure today to talk to you about is interaction so just imagine you
about is interaction so just imagine you
about is interaction so just imagine you could take them all by phone and control
could take them all by phone and control
could take them all by phone and control it just by looking at it that’s what I
it just by looking at it that’s what I
it just by looking at it that’s what I guess interaction means and what I’d
guess interaction means and what I’d
guess interaction means and what I’d like to start with is why we want the
like to start with is why we want the
like to start with is why we want the transects so there are more than 11
transects so there are more than 11
transects so there are more than 11 million people with disabilities in the
million people with disabilities in the
million people with disabilities in the UK and many of them have agility
UK and many of them have agility
UK and many of them have agility impairments so just imagine if you
impairments so just imagine if you
impairments so just imagine if you wanted to try to touch a touch screen
wanted to try to touch a touch screen
wanted to try to touch a touch screen you couldn’t really move your hand or
you couldn’t really move your hand or
you couldn’t really move your hand or your head while shaking all the time
your head while shaking all the time
your head while shaking all the time that’s how life is for these people and
that’s how life is for these people and
that’s how life is for these people and you can imagine that it makes that makes
you can imagine that it makes that makes
you can imagine that it makes that makes it really hard to control computers or
it really hard to control computers or
it really hard to control computers or mobile phones or anything like that and
mobile phones or anything like that and
mobile phones or anything like that and on top of that there are long more
on top of that there are long more
on top of that there are long more repetitive strain injuries in the UK and
repetitive strain injuries in the UK and
repetitive strain injuries in the UK and worldwide so basically people use
worldwide so basically people use
worldwide so basically people use computers and mobile devices more and
computers and mobile devices more and
computers and mobile devices more and more and just imagine you overdo it and
more and just imagine you overdo it and
more and just imagine you overdo it and as soon as you try to use your computer
as soon as you try to use your computer
as soon as you try to use your computer your hand really sucks too hard you
your hand really sucks too hard you
your hand really sucks too hard you couldn’t really do it and let’s have a
couldn’t really do it and let’s have a
couldn’t really do it and let’s have a look at the culprits for this growing
look at the culprits for this growing
look at the culprits for this growing disease of repetitive strain injuries so
disease of repetitive strain injuries so
disease of repetitive strain injuries so in the first place we’ve got keyboards
in the first place we’ve got keyboards
in the first place we’ve got keyboards and mouse and most of us are probably
and mouse and most of us are probably
and mouse and most of us are probably using that possibly even on a daily
using that possibly even on a daily
using that possibly even on a daily basis but also our mobile phones there’s
basis but also our mobile phones there’s
basis but also our mobile phones there’s something called mobile phone claw or
something called mobile phone claw or
something called mobile phone claw or the mobile phone thumb release or some
the mobile phone thumb release or some
the mobile phone thumb release or some really unpleasant and so if you text too
really unpleasant and so if you text too
really unpleasant and so if you text too much that’s what can happen to all of us
much that’s what can happen to all of us
much that’s what can happen to all of us unfortunately and even with touchscreen
unfortunately and even with touchscreen
unfortunately and even with touchscreen displays when you think about tablets
displays when you think about tablets
displays when you think about tablets even then you’re not safe from RSI
even then you’re not safe from RSI
even then you’re not safe from RSI so then people get very often postural
so then people get very often postural
so then people get very often postural because when we sit down with our tablet
because when we sit down with our tablet
because when we sit down with our tablet very often crouched over and our neck
very often crouched over and our neck
very often crouched over and our neck muscles are not quite relaxed and
muscles are not quite relaxed and
muscles are not quite relaxed and there’s actually a wave of repetitive
there’s actually a wave of repetitive
there’s actually a wave of repetitive strain injuries for touchscreen displays
strain injuries for touchscreen displays
strain injuries for touchscreen displays also coming up so the message of the
