Google engineer Ohan Oda takes us behind the scenes of making Maps’ AR Lens usable for visually impaired users — a surprisingly different challenge from standard AR. He covers everything from retraining computer vision models to crafting audio-based cues and sensor fusion tricks that replace the usual visuals.
On top of the tech, he dives into the cross-team coordination, UX research and policy wrangling needed to pull off inclusive AR. If you’re into accessible design or just curious how major products get rearchitected for new audiences, this talk (transcript on InfoQ) is a must-watch.
