A Vision Quest 4 New Sight I thank you for coming and joining up and becoming a part of the solution. It is people like yourself that can help others by posting your thoughts here.

This is the one place where all things blind & low vision can come together for the goal of mobility, accessibility & knowing just what the next steps are to do! As a community we can grow together, and heal through knowledge. For knowledge is power.

Remarkably, the Galaxy S25 and S25 Plus have a great battery life, which is important since both feature power-hungry AI features.Celso Bugatti/CNETBoth phones lasted about a day and a half with regular use. In CNET's 45-minute endurance test, which involves a combination of streaming, scrolling through social media, joining a video call and playing games, the S25's battery dropped from full to 93% (the same as last year's S24), while the battery on the S25 Plus dropped to 94%. In a longer, 3-hour streaming test over Wi-Fi, in which I watched a YouTube video in full-screen mode at full brightness, the S25 dropped from 100% to 85%, while the S25 Plus dropped to 86%.

Samsung's new phones deliver on cameras and battery life, but AI is finally finding its footing, too.

The brand new app is the AI-powered party planner you didn't know you needed, writes CNET's Katie Collins. It uses your Apple ecosystem -- photos, music, maps and even weather -- to put together an invitation. The invite then serves as a kind of portal: The host can track RSVPs, and guests can contribute to collaborative playlists and to shared photo albums, all in one place.

The new app taps Apple Intelligence to create a custom event portal that you can share with all of your friends -- yes, even the Android users.

"The digital divide is fundamentally tied to inequality," says Christopher Ali, professor of telecommunications at Penn State University. "We often think that it's an infrastructure issue, which is the case in rural and remote and Indigenous communities, but the reason most people don't have internet is price."But that connectivity has come at a cost — to both users and the world at large. An internet connection is only useful if you can afford it, and Starlink's $120 monthly plan and $349 satellite dish are still out of reach for many Americans. A 2021

The satellite internet technology has been a game changer for people in rural areas, but scientists are concerned about crowded skies and potential climate consequences.

-- The State Historical Society of Iowa (SHSI) is excited to announce the implementation of NaviLens, an innovative technology designed to improve accessibility for visitors who are blind or have low vision. Using a smartphone app, users can scan special digital codes – similar to QR codes but visible from almost any angle – and gain access to navigational content to help museum visitors orient themselves in the space, including information about the proximity of each code and where different exhibits are located. This project was made possible with the support of a $10,000 Prairie Meadows Community Betterment Grant.

“Interestingly, every year for a National Science Foundation project, I have to gather data on the students here on campus,” said IDRPP Executive Director Matthew Wappett. “There's been a huge increase just over the past year of students who are blind or visually impaired. I think in 2023 we had like seven or eight, and this year we have 52.”

The Institute for Disability Research, Policy & Practice is now an Aira Access Partner.
