Hello. I honestly don't know if this is the right place for posts like this. If it's not the correct place, the moderators can just move it.

Sometimes when we're sitting alone, and our thoughts turn to assistive technologies for the visually impaired, we feel that there are many things that need to be adjusted and changed.

So, if any of you had the ability to change something in assistive technologies for the visually impaired, in any aspect—I mean sensory technologies like glasses and devices, and online tools such as the applications we use daily—what is the new thing you think hasn't been done before that could genuinely help?

Also, if you were going to change something in an existing technology, what would it be and why would you change it?

Lol I'm sorry but I just have to say this, the title made me think about emotions and things to change about ourself lol. Might be for tech forum.
Truth be told, people just don't care enough and I think that's the issue. A lot of things would be resolved if they would start actually caring. Still surprised that the ableton team for example cared enough to make it and work on accessibility but ye, might be off topic.

Probably more websites should be made more accessible. The NVDA developers are doing all they can and sometimes fighting a losing battle in the website arena.

More widespread live AI description. I know its a thing, to an extent, but it should A, be built in, and B, integrated into more services. Like imagine if Whatsapp and facebook had live descriptions for videos and stuff
All that I survey, I could easily destroy. From time to time, it is important to remind these small creatures of the true extent of my power.

I wish that companies would try to incorperate accessibility into there websites, maybe using AI to describe immages for some things, like shopping items. this would be even more better if big companies like amazon, Apple, Microsoft, any other shopping website that is commonly used. I know that at least Microsoft and Apple try, I think.
