Adobe Creative Suite 5 updates Dreamweaver accessibility

Adobe released Adobe Creative Suite 5 today and with it comes a new version of Adobe Dreamweaver, CS5, that includes new features to assist with creating accessible websites such as integrated support for content management system frameworks, full integration with Adobe BrowserLab that lets you examine your website in different web browsers and even easier set-up of new websites.

One of the main improvements to Adobe Dreamweaver CS5 is better support for PHP-based content management system (CMS) frameworks such as WordPress, Joomla! and Drupal. These CMS frameworks allow you to build dynamic web sites, and they are often extremely popular with individuals or community-based sites – in fact, the Media Access Australia web site is built with Joomla!

New cinema access system moves to development phase

SightCine, a Los Angeles based start-up company, has secured development funding to create a prototype of its caption glasses concept. The idea is that the captions are displayed on the screen but are only visible to people wearing the glasses.

There is not much detail in exactly how the glasses work, but other systems using glasses have been developed before. In February 2007 an emerging technologies demonstration was showcased at a cinema in Washington DC. This was reported in Winter 2007 issue of The Media Access Report (“R&D For Cinema Captioning Systems”, p16).
