Google UX Design course brought me here and I am happy for it. Austin, you are super positive and astounding. I understand some of things way clearer now. This video was very important to me, again I am motivated and inspired. Thank you for that, I promise I will be the best version of myself in digital designing.
me three... After watching this I realized I was the blind one for not knowing all this. This really inspires me to be a better designer and to bring accessability to the next level. He is rigtht that this is not an added feature, it is basic needs that need to be equally included for everyone.
Thumbs up for Google UX Design course bringing me here 👍 Bigger thumbs up for Austin sharing experiences and enlightening us to the world that the blind live in every day, all with nice touches of comedy throughout 👍👍 Great talk and an even greater reminder that designing with accessibility in mind improves products and lives for everyone. A case where the rising tide floats all boats when we include people of different circumstances in what we create.
@@sarahamili3501 I'm still looking to secure an internship. But I'm glad for the opportunity. It is indeed an amazing course. If you see it through and put in the work, you'll be glad you did.
I met Austin today thanks to Google UX Design Course. Living independently with dignity is what accessibility is all about. For me, this goes beyond going through a certificate program, this is seeing humanity with an inclusive lens. I'm glad I'm here because now, I fully understand what empathy is all about. Thanks Austin, you rock!
"transportation, banking, groceries, doing the laundry...these are not extra 'nice things to have,' these are basic amenities that someone needs to have to live independently and with dignity." This is such a powerful statement.
Thanks to the Google UX Design Course, I was fortunate enough to come across Austin's talk, and I must say, he is amazing. His insights into his struggles and how he overcomes them were eye-opening, and I will always keep in mind the needs of the visually challenged. Austin's positivity is infectious, and I have no doubt that great things lie ahead for him. Beyond just completing a certificate program, I now see accessibility as a means of allowing everyone to live independently with dignity. I am grateful for the reminder that designing with accessibility in mind improves products and lives for everyone, and I promise to strive to be the best version of myself in digital design.
I am an architect and in between transitioning my career to UX. The Google UX Design course is impressing me even more by giving me exposure to these amazing videos and content! I truly enjoyed the video! I have always been driven towards universal design and this video reminded me why that is. Hopeful and excited for my future self!
This is so inspiring, seeing Austin made me smile and cry. Thanks to Google UX for this big opportunity to have heared Austin speak. Well done, Austin, You're so brave, smart, intelligent and funny. Accessibility has come to stay in the field of UX design because of it positive impact.
You know what, I realised despite not having any physical gestures, the amazing nuances his voice and tones brings across does more than anything to convey a descriptive and vivid speech. I LOVED THIS VIDEO. Thanks google design course for bringing me here too. I had so much fun listening to Mr Austin speak :)
I'm doing the Google UX Design Certificate and one of the lessons recommends this video. I started my path as Front End Developer but in the way I found the UI/UX Design and I feel like is my passion. Watching and hearing people like you, inspire me to become a good UX Design, who takes in consideration all the people. To make the technology more and more accessible everyday. Thanks for sharing your experience and being such a good example for all of us, especially us that want to make more good design and being empathic
Landed here because of the Google UX Design course- And Philly was my old stomping grounds. We all have to leave the Shire eventually. We can all feel like we're home when functionality and accessibility is available to ALL! Thx Austin...Thx TED-
Came from the Google UX Design course. Learning about technology accessibility from a blind person's perspective is truly enlightening and eye-opening!
Amazing, guy right here. I am going to love being part of the reason why the next billion will have a better experience with technology, as we help drive awareness concerning incusivity for all people, all situations, all considerations and no holds barred.
Like others in the comment section, I was brought here by the Google UX Design course. Thank you, Austin, for sharing your story and your awesome humor. As a daughter of a mom that works with visually impaired children, I'm always inspired by what they are able to do (ex. run track, paint, and play the piano). I hope that I can help create products that are easily accessible to everyone in my community.
Excellent. I also came here thanks to the Google UX Design Course. A really clear and punchy summary of accessibility and what it can and should be. I wonder how things have changed in the 9 years since this talk.
Google UX course here too, was really taking things at words value, but after seeing this man, I actually can empathize and understand more about accessibility now! thanks Austin for opening my eyes.
Google UX Design Course brought me here, and I am so incredibly grateful. Thank you for sharing your wonderfully inspiring story. This really humanizes the design process for me.
Awesome sense of humor!! I enjoyed this thoroughly and gained some broader insight. I am partially blind and studying UX design. Your talk deepened my interest in pursing this career and I resonated with everything. I may need to check out Philly as my next place of residence lol.
I'm part of Google UX design career and gave me the opportunity to see this video it's the 2nd one I hear about accessibility. I know this has changed the way I see technology. Thank you Google.
I am studying throught Google UX Design and the course indicaded this TEDx. Austin, your life experience is a powerful inspiration to make us, designers, keeping listening people needs and improving the technology to make life not only easier, but as much enjoilable as can be. As a museum lover, this touch art experiences that you shared gave me good chills. Is something I never heard before here in Brazil, it would break the "non touch" patterns in museums and it would be such a big inclusive step. Thanks for share with us!
@@its.Saaraah it helps a lot to grow and it's a actually fun course to take, a lot of hand on projects. I can't tell yet if it helps to grow on the career, because I already had a job in the field before start it.
Shout out to Google UX Design course that introduced me to Austin. I am inspired and motivated to create inclusive mobile apps and websites. Thanks for sharing your ideas and experience, Austin. ❤
Google UX Design (Coursera) directed me here and I am so glad it did. This course is really enlightening and increasing my knowledge beyond UX Design. Inclusivity for ALL is all I think of now when relating to UX and not just in UX designs, for everything. It is changing me for the better, I am so grateful for that! Nice impactful and comical presentation from the speaker, Austin.
I also came here from Google UX design. I thought Austin had such a charming and engaging way of discussing what accessibility means to everyone. Really enjoyed this and felt like I learned a lot! Informative for such a short watch.
google ux design course brought me here i never knew technologies like this exist ,i met austin today and i'm glad he's doing great and living life freely
Also a Google UX Design student! Haha, Austin, I am a Mac user too. I love watching people get excited about products and give them a try. I didn't know all that about the iPhone's apps for the blind--so cool to learn about companies that thought about accessibility so early on. Fascinating to learn about echolocation as well. So much goodness. The braille street art might be the coolest thing I've heard in a while. Just wow. I mean, JFDI! I have more investigating to do as it's 8 years after you gave this talk. Thank you for sharing so much (and with a sense of humor).
I found you through the UX Design Course, and I think that you are amazing. Thank you for sharing some of your struggles and how you get around them, you have opened my eyes and I will never forget to consider the needs of the visually challenged going forward. Most of all thank you for being such a positive person, you radiate positivity and I see amazing things for you. I’m so glad that I took the time to watch this.
I think its crazy that he is a computer programmer, I am currently going to school to be a programmer. What I really want to do is make video games that you can play through your mind, which has to do with programming and nuero science. I think that it will also help the blind to be able to see using the same set up one day. That is my goal anyways :) Thank you for the video.
bob729mike Are you familiar with audio games? Because there is no visual stimuli, audio games are often available on phones. They're also available online. The games, "The Knightjar" and "Blindside," are very popular among visually impaired gamers. They are available on IOS devices.
Que vídeo maravilhoso, Google ux Design me trouxe aqui e estou me divertindo com essa palestra, Austin é uma pessoa muito bem humorado, abraço do Brazil.
Great video! He is a very charismatic speaker. By the way, I am also a UX Student from Google program. If anyone is doing the course now and wants to connect, I am here.
I’m so thankful UX google course introduced me to the world of accessibility. My life will never be the same. These people must be heard, and always considered. I feel embarrassed that before I dedicated too little time thinking of how to make their lives easier and better.
wow am doing a thesis on the impact of adaptive technology for visually impaired citizen on improving their participation in ICT Based technology . i really need to know more about adaptive technology.

Same here. I used to think about accessibility issues but always thought they were not very practical for a company.

Even after 7 years this still looks relevant and fresh! High time to consider accessibility a lot while designing.
Love this guy. He might be blind but with all those ideas and knowledge about technology he got some great visions !
