If you have been following this thread you know that we've been discussing whether or not tech designers could do a better job designing devices for seniors. That's got me thinkiing about ways we use or devices to overcome challenges such as vision / hearing issues in our daily lives.
I know about some of the things people are doing and the features in IOS devices but I'm betting some of you have ideas I've never considered. I'll start things off with a few ideas I've tried and plan to discuss this in a new video cast soon.
1. If I find myself in places where the mirrors in public restrooms/hotel rooms are too high for me to use effectively, I use the FaceTime camera on my phone. And no, in case you're wondering, my face hasn't broken the camera yet.
2. I'm beginning to use Hey Siri to dictate / send texts and for other tasks. Yes there are times Siri could do a better job but it's still better than my horrible tying on the iPhone screen.
I'm not confining this discussion to Apple devices BTW
