Exploring Braille and Apple Accessibility with Dr. Robert Carter on The Road to Macstock

Chuck Joiner once again treats us to a behind the scenes look at Macstock, it’s presenters, and sponsors in his special MacVoices video series, The Road to Macstock! In this installment of The Road to Macstock 2017 Chuck chats with Dr. Robert Carter about assistive technology, Apple accessibility, and his upcoming talk at Macstock 2017 on why braille integration with Apple’s operating systems is important.

Our next stop on the Road to Macstock takes us to Dr. Robert Carter, who provides some perspective on how blind users interact with their technology. Modern devices have opened up many things to those with visual challenges, but the costs associated with those devices can be challenging. Robert discusses how he will be making us all aware of these challenges and opportunities in his Macstock session this year.

Making Great Videos with Wally Cherwinski on The Road to Macstock

Chuck Joiner once again treats us to a behind the scenes look at Macstock, it’s presenters, and sponsors in his special MacVoices video series, The Road to Macstock! In this installment of The Road to Macstock 2017 Chuck speaks with Macstock presenter Wally Cherwinski about his Macstock 2016 talk, Video to Go, and how his Macstock 2017 follow up, Video to Go II, will give attendees a closer look at how his tips and techniques can result in better video for everyone.

We are back on the Road to Macstock in a conversation with Wally Cherwinski about video-making and why it can be so much fun. Wally shares some of his thoughts on getting started making videos with Apple’s free tools and moving up to something more sophisticated when you are ready. Making videos can change the way you look at TV, commercials, and movies. Wally talks about what you can learn from all three, how stories are told in two to three minutes, and how he will approach the subject at Macstock.
