Ultra Access/Mixmups; Sound of a Masterpiece
Manage episode 478518019 series 1301228
Visually impaired producer of the children's television programme Mixmups, Rebecca Atkinson has created a new concept for customising television access. It is called Ultra Access and is currently available online for episodes of Mixmups. Rebecca, along with Kate Dimbleby from Stornaway, who are the interactive video company providing the technology for Ultra Access, tell In Touch whether they think this could become the future of interactive access to television.
Sound of a Masterpiece is an album created by visually impaired composer Bobby Goulder, that reimagines famous pieces of art work into music. It was created with The BBC’s New Radiophonic Workshop, with the aim of bringing visually impaired people closer to art and to experience it in a more immersive way. Bobby Goulder tells In Touch about the concept behind the project and visually impaired art appreciator, Sam Leftwich provides her critiques of the reimaginings.
Presenter: Peter White Producer: Beth Hemmings Production Coordinator: Liz Poole Website image description: Peter White sits smiling in the centre of the image and he is wearing a dark green jumper. Above Peter's head is the BBC logo (three separate white squares house each of the three letters). Bottom centre and overlaying the image are the words "In Touch" and the Radio 4 logo (the word ‘radio’ in a bold white font, with the number 4 inside of a white circle). The background is a bright mid-blue with two rectangles angled diagonally to the right. Both are behind Peter, one is a darker blue and the other is a lighter blue.
