CurrentAuslan · accessible technology
Developing and evaluating technologies and resources that improve accessibility for Auslan users.
- What it is
- Current work includes applied evaluation of computer-vision and AI approaches to Auslan recognition across different viewing conditions, accessibility prototypes, charitable-purpose datasets, and engagement with community, education and research stakeholders.
- How it advances our purpose
- It advances accessibility, inclusion and equitable participation for Deaf and hard-of-hearing people by improving accessible Auslan communication.
- Who benefits
- Deaf and hard-of-hearing people who use, or may benefit from, Auslan and accessible communication technologies.
- Expected public benefit
- Improved evidence, methods, resources and tools that reduce communication barriers and support more equitable participation.
CurrentApplied research
Early-stage applied research into accessible, responsible approaches to physiological information.
- What it is
- Octopus Pulse investigates multimodal, non-invasive physiological sensing, data collection and responsible-AI methods — focused on developing research methods, datasets and evidence for more accessible and inclusive approaches to understanding physiological information.
- How it advances our purpose
- It advances equitable participation and accessibility by exploring responsible, accessible ways to reduce barriers to understanding physiological and health-related information.
- Who benefits
- Members of the public who may experience barriers to accessing, understanding or benefiting from conventional physiological and health-related information.
- Expected public benefit
- Research methods, datasets and evidence for more accessible, inclusive approaches — produced for public benefit, not as a commercial product.
