Dreaming of Streaming: video on demand access for blind and vision impaired people

Video on Demand (VOD) services are the new media that everyone wants to consume. There are a number of VOD services available in Australia, including some with audio description. With this in mind Vision Australia hosted a consumer webinar, Dreaming of Streaming, on 29 July 2015 from its Sydney corporate offices and Media Access Australia CEO Alex Varley was one of the panel members.

Alex discusses the background of the Dreaming of Streaming webinar, major discussion topics that people were interested in, why platform accessibility is just as important as audio description and VOD comparisons between Australia and other parts of the world. Alex also provides a key message regarding VOD service accessibility and explains how to access the full webinar online.
