GPT Chat, help me summarize this text for college. Artificial intelligence is now an integral part of my daily life. In almost every room I have an Alexa virtual assistant that allows me to control lights, blinds and devices (as I already discussed in my article on home automation, written for this blog) while during university lectures I use Chat GPT to take notes and process information more quickly.

The Flex Controller was designed for people with specific motor needs (and with the support of occupational therapists during development), to allow for customized configurations based on the available movements.

Society spends more and more time online, but not everyone can access online content with the same ease. In fact, people with disabilities often encounter obstacles that others don't even notice when visiting a website. These can make it difficult to read text, watch videos, fill out forms, or interact with buttons and links. Making a website accessible means breaking down barriers and allowing everyone to navigate freely.

Digital productivity depends not only on the tools available, but also on how accessible they truly are. For many people with disabilities, assistive software and apps are key to communicating, studying, working, and living independently. In this article, we'll explore the most effective technologies, from augmentative and alternative communication systems to work organization apps, explaining who they serve, how they work, and why they can transform our daily lives.

In this article, I also explore, through my personal experience, I have a diagnosis of ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) how technology can become a concrete ally for inclusive learning, and which tools work best in practice.

In recent years, the world of making and open-source has revolutionized the way we think about assistive technology. From simple homemade prototypes to accessible and functional tools, collaboration between users, technicians, and people with disabilities has sparked a truly global movement: making technology more inclusive, customizable, and affordable.

PlayStation Portal changes again: with the latest update we can finally play the titles in our digital library without needing to own or turn on a PlayStation 5. It’s not a “traditional” controller with built-in analog sticks and triggers; it works as a modular hub (a “base”) to which you can connect buttons, switches, external joysticks, and other assistive devices.

Today's museums are no longer mere containers of works, but living, dynamic places that embrace technology to break down physical, cognitive, and cultural barriers. Digital inclusion has become a crucial lever for ensuring access to beauty and knowledge for all, without exclusion.

Imagine scrolling through a social media feed without being able to see the images. For many blind or visually impaired people, this isn't an abstract hypothesis, but an everyday reality. However, something is changing: artificial intelligence (AI) is learning not only to recognize what's in an image, but to describe it with astonishing accuracy and sensitivity .

The Xbox Adaptive Controller (XAC) is a device designed by Microsoft to make gaming more accessible for people with limited mobility. It is not a “traditional” controller with built-in analog sticks and triggers; instead, it works as a modular hub (a “base”) to which you can connect buttons, switches, external joysticks, and other assistive devices.

Web accessibility isn't just a good practice: it's a way to ensure no one is excluded from your online content. And with new regulations coming soon, it's also a legal issue that shouldn't be underestimated.

Not all barriers are physical. Many websites and digital services still exclude users through invisible obstacles. Learn what digital barriers are, why they matter, and how to remove them to create a more inclusive online world.
