Hello Everyone,
This announcement represents a friendly reminder for all of you to listen to an
important, two hour live Main Menu coming right up later today.
Coming up on an exciting two hour live program, we hear from a panel of
technology industry experts all about CAPTCHA (visual verification) and other
forms of visual authentication, accessibility challenges to existing visual
verification systems, the balance between human rights and security, existing
solutions for providing reasonable accomodations to visual authentication and
emerging accessibility solutions.
We are proud to introduce an impressive panel of experts and their primary
areas of focus:
* Matt May from the Adobe Systems Accessibility Team will discuss his 2005 W3C
note on the inaccessibility of CAPTCHA.
* Luis von Ahn from ReCAPTCHA at Carnegie Mellon University will describe their
accessible solution.
* Steve Dispensa from PhoneFactor will tell us all about an innovative,
telephone based two-factor authentication system.
The accessibility of CAPTCHA (visual verification schemes on the web) and other
similar forms of visual authentication is a topic of utmost importance to the
blind, visually impaired and others with print reading disabilities. Real,
universally accessible solutions are going to require significant amounts of
effort, good will and out-of-the-box thinking. We encourage active
participation by the blind community, members on all sides of the issue from
the mainstream technology industry and those sighted people who care about what
happens to us.
