AR glasses are here, but what about accessibility?

From uxdesign.cc - Today, 1:18 PM

"Big companies like XREAL and Meta have released their new AR glasses over the past few months. Unlike bulky VR headsets, they are much lighter and more comfortable, which means users can keep them on longer. I’ve tried some of them myself, and honestly, they’re still a bit heavy (mine keep sliding down my oily nose.) But given how fast the technology is developing, they’ll probably shrink soon and become much more popular."

Read more
EDTECH@UTRGV's insight:

"AR has different characteristics than the traditional 2D screen, which means we might have more senses to play with and more ways to engage (trick) the brain. It’s important to think about this while the technology is still in its early development, before design patterns get locked in."

From www.nbcnews.com - March 19, 8:00 PM
Teams from Google and leading universities found that large-language models change the voice, tone and intended meaning of human authors.

EDTECH@UTRGV's insight:

"[U]sers who heavily relied on large language models (LLMs) produced responses that diverged significantly in meaning from the answers of participants who only partially relied on LLMs or avoided their use altogether, suggesting heavy AI use alters the substance of humans’ arguments in addition to changing writing style."

"Few spheres of public life have been more rapidly and thoroughly transformed by generative AI products than education, and few professions have been more dramatically upended than teachers and education workers. There’s a case to be made that the first major social transformation of the modern AI era was the mass diffusion of ChatGPT into classrooms, where students took to using it as an easy implement for cheating on homework."
