Accessible Audio Cues (AAC) to aid the understanding of audiovisual narrative for neuro and cognitively diverse audiences
The fine-tuning of Accessible Audio Cues is an innovative Media Accessibility project revolving around the repurposing of Audio Description (AD) and Audio Narrative (AN) to overcome cognitive barriers in multimodal communication faced by neuro and cognitively diverse individuals. To reduce the cognitive load stemming from the presence of an additional verbal aural input – the AAC themselves – audio cues in Easy-to-Understand languages are used to reduce linguistic complexity while ensuring immersion when accessing audio-visual narrative.
