GAAD 2021関連記事クリッピング。

2021年5月20日（木）、10年めの節目を迎えたグローバルアクセシビリティ啓発デー（Global Accessibility Awareness Day）に関連した記事クリッピングです。相変わらず手抜きですみません……。

去年に引き続き、今年もCovid-19感染防止のためほとんどのイベントはオンライン上で行われました。

今年は特に、ゲームまわりの盛り上がりが印象的でした。コミュニティだけでなくディベロッパー側からも積極的に発信が行われており「After TLOU2」の波が一気に表出したような気がします。今年後半もゲームアクセシビリティ関連は注目ですね。

一方、その他の分野ではCovid-19の影響により注目されるWebやドキュメント、映像メディアのアクセシビリティ、米国ADA法30年にまつわるお話などが目を引きました。毎年感じるのですが、アクセシビリティ向上に邁進する人々の姿に触れられるのは、障害当事者として心強い限りです。

来年こそは対面イベントが復活してくれることを望みたいところです。
