Venue: Research In Motion UK Ltd
200 Bath Road, Slough, Berkshire, SL1 3XE, UK.

ÆGIS (Open Source-based Generalised Accessibility Support for Mainstream ICT) aims to make devices like desktop computers, mobile phones and internet applications more accessible to people with disabilities. The project will produce assistive software that can be built into mainstream devices. It will also create tool kits for software developers; accessible solutions developed using Open Source technologies.

ÆGIS is placing users and their needs at the centre of all its ICT developments, and focuses in particular on users with visual, hearing, motion, speech, language and cognitive impairments. They are holding this User Forum on Thursday 4th June 2009 in London. They aim to have fruitful discussions between both end-users and application developers, thus better understanding their needs when wanting to use accessible desktop, mobile and internet applications. It will ensure that future technologies and services will meet the needs of the end-users, and both mainstream and assistive technology developers.
