Join us for an engaging workshop where we'll explore accessibility beyond screen readers and alternative inputs. We'll dive into the super specific problem of motion sickness and discover how addressing it can transform your website or app into something truly captivating for a diverse range of users.
Despite the tummy-turning title, this hands-on workshop is a lot of fun. There are just three slides to introduce you to the world of motion sensitivities, <strong>85% of the workshop is pure interaction.</strong> If attendees share firsthand motion sickness experiences (spoiler: they always do!), accessibility becomes tangible, shaping your thinking patterns and paving the way for more inclusive product decisions. Go to the office on Monday, give your colleagues of all disciplines the tl;dr and scroll through your website or app together to see where it might trip affected people. Then collectively implement solutions.
