SUMMARY:Spring 2024 Sciame Lecture Series: Reginé Gilbert
DESCRIPTION:This lecture will be in person and is part of the Spring 2024 S
 ciame Lecture Series\, titled "Access and Beyond: Architecture and Disabil
 ity."\n\nReginé Gilbert is a seasoned user experience designer\, internat
 ional keynote speaker\, esteemed educator\, and accomplished author. Curre
 ntly holding the prestigious position of James Weldon Johnson Professor at
  New York University\, she is a respected authority in her field. Her rese
 arch endeavors center around digital accessibility\, inclusive design\, an
 d immersive experiences\, exploring ways to create inclusive digital envir
 onments. In 2019\, Reginé published her debut book\, "Inclusive Design fo
 r a Digital World: Designing with Accessibility in Mind\," which was warml
 y received by industry professionals and readers alike\, published under A
 press Publishing. Notably\, she is also collaborating with Doug North Cook
  on an upcoming book titled "Human Spatial Computing\," slated for publica
 tion by Oxford University Press in 2024.\n\n"Human Spatial Computing": Our
  relationship with technology has advanced significantly\, from using larg
 e mainframe computers to wearing small\, portable devices that enhance our
  daily lives. Today\, the focus is on Human Spatial Computing\, which invo
 lves interacting with technology using our entire body instead of just key
 boards and mice. This shift has led to the development of immersive techno
 logies like Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR)\, which requir
 e designing experiences that cater to human needs rather than just machine
 s. Human Spatial Computing is a field that has the potential to transform 
 many areas\, from healthcare to remote work. However\, it’s crucial to p
 rioritize inclusivity and accessibility while developing these technologie
 s. This talk will emphasize the significance of creating groundbreaking so
 lutions that cater to the needs of this new era by highlighting examples o
 f current tools and ongoing research in spatial computing.\n\nSuggested Re
 ading: Current and potential uses of AR/VR for Equity and Inclusion.\n\n"A
 ccess and Beyond: Architecture and Disability" answers the call for disabi
 lity justice in our time. Architects\, designers\, and scholars\, inspired
  by critical disability studies\, make up the distinguished roster of spea
 kers who situate disability\, ability\, and access in pointed\, specific c
 ritiques of design\, culture\, and power. This series invites practitioner
 s to probe assumptions embedded in universal design\, to center belonging 
 in design practice\, to critique technology in relation to inclusion\, and
  to apprehend the rich contribution of difference in the sensorial experie
 nces of places.\n\nAll lectures are free\, open to the public\, and held i
 n the Bernard and Anne Spitzer School of Architecture Sciame Auditorium. L
 ive captioning and ASL interpretation will be available upon request. For 
 access requests or questions\, please contact ssadean@ccny.cuny.edu. \n\n
 See https://www.ccny.cuny.edu/return-campus for current requirements for i
 n-person visitors.\n\nThis lecture series is made possible by the Spitzer 
 Architecture Fund and the generous support of Frank Sciame ’74\, CEO of 
 Sciame Construction.
