Nano mini-exhibition Audio Description

The audio description (AD) that accompanies the Nano exhibition was developed to increase access for visitors with low or no vision. It may also be able to support visitors with learning disabilities, and others for whom reading is challenging. The overall approach for this process is described as follows:

Goals:

• Make the experience accessible for visitors with low vision, and for blind visitors with a sighted companion (following American Council for the Blind’s definition of an audio description as an assistive technology)
• Help visitors understand and appreciate the exhibition’s most important messages Supplementary resources:
• Nano exhibition audio description is available at whatisnano.org/ad
• Audio description text available on whatisnano.org/ad in a format accessible to assistive technology readers
• Additional audio podcasts on nanoscience, engineering, and technology are available on whatisnano.org
