From helping users with disabilities to bringing distracted audiences back together, our 2024 Tech for Change award winners are making an impact.
This story is part of Tech for Change: an ongoing series in which we shine a spotlight on positive uses of technology, and showcase how they're helping to make the world a better place. We can all appreciate faster laptops, bigger TVs, and thinner phones, but technology can do a lot more than just make our individual lives easier and more fun.
Not only is all of this really technically impressive, it also makes Android devices more accessible to people who have difficulty using their phone with their hands or voice. And Project Gameface doesn’t require any special hardware to work. So long as you have an existing Android phone, you’re good to go. Powerful accessibility tools are one thing, but making them widely accessible to people on devices they already have makes them all the more important.
Picture a TV in a gym, either on the wall or built into a workout machine like a treadmill or elliptical. Auracast removes the traditional barrier of pairing the host device with your earbuds or headphones. By simply scanning a QR code or tapping your phone — like when you use your phone to pay for something — you’ll have your own private audio feed.
Created in partnership with Microsoft, the Proteus Controller is unlike any gamepad you’ve ever seen. It features a fully modular design that lets players easily snap parts off and reassemble them to their liking. The kit comes with cubes, sticks, and swappable buttons to make that possible. It’s almost as if Lego made a video game controller. That’s a powerful premise, as ByoWave says that players can build “over 100 million traditional and custom configurations” with the tool kit.
That’s not to mention the biggest new addition to what this keyboard can do: function while being disconnected. In the past, the keyboard only worked when connected through the pogo pins on the bottom of the tablet. Now, you can disconnect and still have access to that keyboard and trackpad. This opens up all kinds of new positions and ergonomic situations that weren’t possible in the past, especially for those who need a device that can adapt to their physical needs with a bit more control.
These effects are divided into three groups: seat effects, near-seat effects, and room effects. Seat effects tend to simulate motion, so if you’re watching Brad Pitt ride atop a speeding train in Bullet Train, the chair will rumble. Near-seat effects show up in movies like Twisters, where you’ll feel the wind and rain of a tornado whipping at your face.
