Accessibility

Accessibility represents one of the core areas of modern digital society, as it enables equal access to information, services, and content for all users, regardless of their abilities. Additional weight is given to this field by European and Slovenian legislation, which mandates that public institutions and relevant economic sectors provide their services in an accessible format.

Within the scope of our work, we actively address the challenges of this field and develop solutions that contribute to greater inclusion and an enhanced user experience. Our activities and key milestones include the development of an animated Slovenian Sign Language interpreter, the technical analysis of digital accessibility solutions and assistive tools, conducting user experience surveys in sign language, and much more. Leveraging our technical expertise, we also implement hybrid conferences and events by seamlessly integrating multiple sign language interpreters into live videoconferencing streams.

Another essential pillar of our work involves conducting education and training sessions on accessibility for various target groups. By adopting a holistic approach, we ensure that digital content and services are designed from the ground up to be usable by the widest possible audience—a crucial factor given that the proportion of elderly users in the Western world is steadily growing.

Reference Projects

Technical and Systemic Support for Disabled Persons

The rate of disability in Europe is high, standing somewhere between 10% and 15%, while approximately 8% of the population in Slovenia holds a disabled status. Depending on the degree of impairment, a portion of this population is employable, although they often face significant difficulties in finding work.

HUMAN

Healthcare 5.0 introduces advanced technologies to improve the patient experience. The HUMAN project focuses on telehealth, human-centered care, accessibility, as well as digital literacy and inclusion, with the ultimate goal of ensuring more accessible healthcare.

The Impact of the Fourth and Fifth Industrial Revolutions on the Lives of Disabled Persons
