iSee - Using various technologies from a blind persons perspective.

In this demo, I take you through a description and play around with my first try out of an Apple watch case.This particular case (The Spigen SGP11504 Tough Armour Case) was purchased firstly to find out what using a case on the Apple watch would be like, and secondly if it did work, to start using the case to protect the Apple watch when doing the gardening etc.

Odd that after 384 demos I've finally gotten around to doing a podcast on one of my most used apps on a daily basis: the Audible app.In this demo I go through purchasing a book from http://www.audible.com via Safari on the Mac, quickly demo how I listen to an Audible book on the Mac, and then go through a fairly extensive demo of the Audible app on my iPhone 6s including: accessing the book I just purchased, discuss in-depth the book title playing screen and its options, the book shelf, and the other Tabs (including the More tab where you will find Settings).

Hope you enjoy listening to the demo as much as I like actually using the app and demoing it.

In this demo, I demonstrate Apple's Podcasts app that became available with the 9.1.1 Apple TV OS update.I first start with a demo of the app on the iPone, and then move over to the Apple TV 4th generation.

In the demo I cover the layout of the app, accessing unread podcasts, listing "My Podcasts", searching/subscribing/playng podcasts, and demo how the play position between iOS and TV os is synchronised.

During the demo of searching for podcasts to subscribe, I use the Remote app on my iPhone rather than the Apple tv 4th generation keyboard and point out if you are using the Remote app on your iOS device, you can use the on-screen keyboard, voice dictation or a Bluetooth keyboard if you have one connected.

Demo of 3rd party apps that I use on my Apple watch (not the default Apple watch apps) including: CNN, Just Press Record, Navigon, Downcast, Drafts, Comfort, Tic Tac Toe, Tweetings, Newsify, Hangman, TimeBuzz, Animal Watch, Phone Battery, Trash Day, Pandora, Calculator Watch Pro Free, Dictationary, QuickSwitch, Decibl, DoublePost, and UnHand Me. ,

In this demo, I take you through where to turn 3d touch on, adjust the sensitivity of using on the screen, note where to test 3d touch after adjusting sensitivity, demo several apps (including Phone, Music, Videos, App, iTunes and iBooks stores) that I use regularly, demo a nice tip with Assistive Touch with 3d touch, note what feedback you are given if an app doesn't support 3d touch, and finish off by demoing the 1 finger double tap and hold for moving/deleting an icon commenting that if I held my finger down on the screen to hard I could trigger 3d touch if it was in the light force sensitivity setting.I comment throughout the demo, that I use the Peak functionality of 3d touch on app icons, but I don't use the Poke function of 3d touch within apps.3d touch is currently available on the iPhone 6s and 6s plus and is an advanced version of Force Touch found on the Apple watch.

In this demo, I take you through a physical description and use of the iPad pro, smart keyboard, and the Apple pencil.The Smart Keyboard and the Apple Pencil are sold separately to the iPad Pro.I note with the Smart Keyboard that to perform the Quick Nav VoiceOver command for Perform Action, that it is Left/Up/Right, not Up/Down as on a standard BT keyboard due to the moulding of the Up and Down keys in to one key.  In addition, as the Smart Keyboard has no Escape key, Control+Option+Accent performs the Escape VoiceOver function (this can be used on BT keyboards as well).With both the touch screen and the keyboard, I demo how to use Split View which you can activate using VoiceOver from the Status Line by a three finger flick to the left.In the demo, I use the Apple Pencil for the hand writing mode for VoiceOver which can be turned on and accessed by the VO Rotor: Settings, General, Accessibility, VoiceOver, Rotor: Hand Writing.Note - to pair the Apple Pencil to the iPad pro, just plug it in to the lightning port, this is also where you charge the Pencil as well.Use Notifications Today Screen Battery Widget to give you the battery status of the iPad Pro as we'll as the Apple Pencil.Demo quickly the multi-tasking gestures which can be used on an iPad, if you turn the gestures on in Settings, General, MMulti-Tasking.Complete the demo by showing you how to use the Smart Keyboard as a cover for the iPad pro.

An interview with Jonathan Mosen aired on Vision Australia radio Jan 5 2016 where Stephen and I discuss with Jonathan how he got in to tech and some general thoughts about his experiences with technology.To find out more about all of Jonathan's work, go to his website Mosen Consulting:http://www.mosen.org

In this demo, I demo how I can access my Netatmo Urban Weather Station (where I am using two hardware modules for indoor/outdoor temperature information), and my Belkin Link light globes and Belkin WeMo switch's from my Apple watch.I first demo the official app for Netatmo followed by the Comfort app on the iPHone, and then demo the comfort complication and app running n my Apple watch.Similarly with Belkin: I first demo the official WeMo app, and then the QuickSwitch app on my iPhone, and then demo the QuickSwitch app on the Apple watch.  Unfortunately the QuickSwitch app has no complication for use on the Apple watch, I have to just use the app.Conclude in commenting that these two apps just make the Apple watch that more useful.

On the 31st of December 2015 Aussie time, the official Twitter client for Mac OS X was updated.  Amongst the improvements was giving access to VoiceOver users to the interface.In this demo, I take you through a brief exploration of the Twitter client, navigating the home time line, examining a tweets details, activating a link within a tweet, replying to a tweet, switching between the views for Home timeline, Notifications (mentions), Messages, Profile, Lists, and Search, demo of the Tweet sub-menu from the main menu to allow for retweeting of tweets etc, and posting a new tweet.As this is a short demo, I did not go in to Messages, Lists or Searching.Demo was mainly to show you that the updated Twitter app for Mac OS X is indeed accessible.A few rough edges, but nothing that stops basic solid functioning of the app.
