Executive Summary

This document presents the demonstration activities that took place within the project. Demonstration activities range from events, virtual workshops to Open Days.

In total, 393 developers and end-users (137 in regional Open Days, 175 in large Open Days, 86 in events and conferences) attended and were involved in the Open Days and project-level organized events and conferences. Another 50 stakeholders attended the online webinars. These numbers do not reflect general dissemination activities and partner-level attendance of conferences and events. These were mostly addressed within SP5 extraversion and dissemination activities.

The main objectives of this deliverable are set in the introductory Chapter 1. The regional Open Days that were held at four pilot sites (Austria, Germany, Greece, and Spain), two large demonstration events after the official launch of DeveloperSpace at AAATE 2017 (i.e. two large Open Days) and other partner-specific demonstration events that took place based on the developments of the project are presented in Chapter 2. A final overview of the outcomes that occurred trough different demonstration events, evaluation form results and suggestions for improvements of the Prosperity4All technologies are presented in Chapter 3. The deliverable concludes with Chapter 4.



1. Introduction

In this document we present the demonstration activities for the Prosperity4All project’s technologies and results.

The deliverable presents the actual activities, events and material (i.e. photos, links to demo videos, proceedings from the two major events, etc.).

Demonstration and dissemination activities were an opportunity for engaging external actors and present the improvements, changes, or additions that took place during the lifetime of the project.

Demonstrations were opportunities for external actors to interact and learn about the developments of the project with real hands-on experience. The important aspect of demonstrations was to show how the user can interact with the demonstrated technologies. The work carried out within WP405 is the result of the collaboration with other three Prosperity4All teams:

- Training team (training content and courses, and organizing training events, webinars and workshops);

- Dissemination team (record of conference attendance, promotion of project activities, creation of dissemination material, organizing dissemination events and open days, etc.);

- Exploitation team (working on how best to move the ideas out through virtual workshops and webinars and identify the benefits for external actors).

The demonstration activities were organized in the last two years of the project when the maturity of the developments allowed for sharing them outside the boundaries of the Prosperity4All project.

In total, 393 developers and end-users (137 in regional Open Days, 175 in large Open Days, 86 in events and conferences) attended and were involved in the Open Days and project-level organized events and conferences. Another 50 stakeholders attended the online webinars. These numbers do not reflect general dissemination activities and partner-level attendance of conferences and events. These were mostly addressed within SP5 extraversion and dissemination activities.

Open Days were held at pilot sites before the beginning of the first and second evaluation phase with end-users (WP403). In total 6 regional Open Days were conducted within the duration of the project at the 4 pilot sites and 2 large Open Days at Greek and Spanish pilot sites. The Open Days were an opportunity to invite diverse actors (national companies, vendors, representatives of local academia, and end-user groups) and present the work carried out in the project in native language. An additional benefit was that Open Days allowed interested parties to investigate possibilities to collaborate with partners at the pilot sites.

The research teams that attended the Open Days had the opportunity to really engage with external users in face-to-face discussions.



1.1 Objectives

To showcase the developments of the project to targeted user groups and stakeholders.

The activities described in this document aim to succeed the following:

- Present the demonstration events that took place within the Prosperity4All project. - Present the Open Days that conducted at Prosperity4All Pilot sites and outline the effect of

Hands on User Experience during demonstrations.



2 Open Days at Pilot Sites

Eight Open Days were conducted within the duration of the project at the 4 pilot sites: Austria, Germany, Greece, and Spain. More specifically, 6 regional Open days were conducted at the 4 Prosperity4All’s partner’s sites and 2 large Open Days events that were conducted at Greek and Spanish pilot sites with more than 200 attendants. The Open Days were an opportunity to invite diverse actors (national companies, vendors, representatives of local academia, end-user groups) and present the work carried out in Prosperity4ll in native language. The Project partners of the Open Days had the opportunity to really engage with external guests in face-to-face discussions.

The objective of the Open Days was not only to attract people to interact and learn about the project and the work performed but also discuss with partners about their own experiences and potentially to establish collaborations to further support the Prosperity4All community.

The targeted audiences were mixed by all types of stakeholders. However, focus was shifted towards the participants’ types that were recruited during pilots and the user groups that were most interested to the demonstrated Prosperity 4All technologies.

To all people that attended Open Days events, previously was given to them a consent form, informing them for the main objectives of the event and they were asked to sign in it also to be published photos and videos from the events for dissemination purposes of the project.

Invitations were sent out to key national stakeholders such as:

• End-user organizations • SMEs and large IT companies • ICT business and consultancy companies • Accessibility fora and communities • Key governmental agencies

Figure 1. Greek Pilot site-Open Day Agenda.



The targeted audiences were: End-user organizations, SMEs and large IT companies, ICT business and consultancy companies, Accessibility fora and communities and key governmental agencies. The open days took place at the project’s pilot sites, in order to incorporate the developments to a Prosperity4All narrative representative of the project outcomes, the context and venue characteristics.

2.1 Open Days Agenda

The Open Days were organized at each pilot site before starting the evaluations with end-users. The aim was threefold: a) disseminate and demonstrate the works of the Prosperity4All project to interested stakeholder groups, b) to recruit participants through individuals and invited user organizations, and c) offer actual hands-on experience for attendants and visitors.

Each Open Days followed a similar agenda, such as the following:

• Introduction and project presentation • GPII DeveloperSpace demonstration (use of end-user personae) • GPII Unified Listing demonstration (use of end-user personae) • Real-life demonstration of SP3 implementation(s) • Hand-on experience with DS and UL • Online feedback form • Closure of local OpenDay event

The organizing teams properly utilized the existing dissemination material (project presentation, posters, and leaflets). Each regional Open Day lasted from 09.00-17.00 and the premises of each Institute remained open to the public for the whole day.

The pilot sites that were both implementers and testers invited the implementers to demonstrate their work and real people invited in the scenario to emulate a real-life experience.

Real-life demonstrations of the core parts of the infrastructure were also presented. All material was translated to native language. The Open Days instantiated the beginning of WP403 each evaluation phase.



2.2 Regional Open Days per Pilot site

Greek Pilot site 1st Open Day at Greek Pilot site The Hellenic Institute of Transport (HIT) is part of the Centre for Research and Technology Hellas (CERTH), which is a non-profit organization under the auspices of the Ministry of Education and Religious Affairs, Sport and Culture and it is based in Thessaloniki.

The Domotics Lab, the Driving Simulator Lab and the heavily instrumented research vehicle were used for the Open Days to demonstrate the SP3 implementations of CERTH/HIT and the SP2 components of CERTH/ITI.

Figure 2. The Domotics Lab (CERTH).

Partner CERTH-HIT held an Open Day at their premises in Thessaloniki on 7th March 2017. 25 people (users with access needs, developers and representatives of end user organizations, like the Panhellenic Association of Paraplegic) attended the Open Day event. Developers were commercial and AT-oriented (N=3 and N=2, respectively).

Prosperity4All and DeveloperSpace concept and objectives were presented to attendees and they had a “hands on” experience with the initial prototype of UnifiedListing and the in-vehicle mobile routing guidance applications customized to their needs. Figure 3.1st Open Day at CERTH/HIT Pilot site-Overview of the attendants.

Figure 4. 1st Open Day at CERTH/HIT Pilot site-Demonstration of Unified Listing and Developer Space.

Figure 5. Demonstration of the Routing Guidance System.



Most of the visitors were got interested in the concept of Prosperity4All and especially to the Unified Listing. Many of them were impressed by the Routing Guidance demo, because they stated that this would be an effortless way to navigate in unfamiliar through personalized UI access to MLS destinator. The users were able also to load and change their needs and preferences through voice command.

Many participants were very interested in the Challenges part of DeveloperSpace.

Finally, some questions were raised by the attending users regarding data privacy and access issues. For example, attendees asked about the location their data will be stored from the Routing guidance system-for each User Token, etc.)

A second demonstration was the Empatica E4 Smart Watch for stress detection of the user (stress detection module (T202.5)).

Totally the feedback obtained from the participants was very positive. Attendees showed interest for the presented technologies.

Most participants were very interested to participate at the first evaluation phase of the end users and they provided their contact details.

Finally, the users had a “hands on experience with DeveloperSpace and UnifiedListing current prototypes as well as the Routing guidance system, through an MLS tablet and two smart phones.

Austrian Pilot Site 1st Open Day at Austrian Pilot site LFTL is a non-profit research organization founded by Diakonie Austria and the Austrian Institute of Technology. It is dedicated to research and development in the fields of assistive technology and special needs and is responsible for the non-profit consultation network in Austria, Serbia and the Czech Republic. LFTL concentrates on the selection, production, distribution and evaluation of innovative information and communication devices.

Specifically, LFTL organized the Austrian pilot, inviting end-users (recruitment, technical set-up, trial operations) to its barer-free consultation room. The same room was used for the pilot site ‘Open Days”. This ambience features:

• a cozy homey atmosphere • wireless as well as cable-based internet connection (high bandwidth) • multiplatform devices (Mac OS, iOS, Windows, Android, Linux) • access to a dazzling array of assistive technology devices • presentation equipment (beamer, smart board, flipchart, computers)

The Open day at the Austrian pilot site took place at the LIFEtool premises on March 14, 2017. Nine participants seized the chance to learn about the Prosperity4All project and get a first-hand introduction to the actual state of development.

Figure 7. 1st Open Day at Austrian Pilot site –Attendants of the event.

The open day was organized as informal gathering with coffee and cake to get to know each other in a pleasant atmosphere. After the first introduction, the involved researchers gave a



presentation of the Prosperity4All project and demonstrated the GPII UL website. This presentation was followed by an open discussion, where the attendants commented on the project, asked questions and expressed concerns and wishes.

Figure 8. 1st Open Day at Austrian Pilot site – FlashWords Prosperity4All edition.

The attendants were also invited to test actual developments of the project like the FlashWords Prosperity4All edition and to try out state of the art technology like eye control and virtual reality with the Microsoft hololens.

Figure 9. Eye control and virtual reality with the Microsoft hololens.



Evaluation of Feedback forms Feedback forms were available for attendees and visitors to complete after the events (Annex).

All of them have heard of Prosperity4All before and see the following main opportunities:

Opportunities

It´s one landing page for all assistive products. It´s a place full of information. It´s a meeting/communication point for end users and experts/developers.

Their opinon on the GPII UL regarding first impression and signification is very positive. Regarding simplicity, they see room for improvement. They all can imagine to use the website every now and then. They also agree that the UL could replace existing solutions and methods as it would eliminate the need to search on several websites for assistive solutions.

Figure 10. 1st Open Day at Austrian Pilot site – Evaluation of Feedback forms.



Second Open Day Austrian Pilot Site The second Open day at the Austrian pilot site was again held at the LIFEtool headquarter on December 19, 2017. Seventeen guests, many of them participants of the second GPII UL website testing phase followed the invitation, which had been posted on the LIFEtool Facebook site. They expected a presentation of the Prosperity4All project and latest technological developments like Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality and speech controlled smart home solutions.

For displaying the technological solutions, we had prepared different stations, so that everybody got the chance to get their hands on. We had prepared the following stations:



• Microsoft Hololens with a Tangram application, which was developed during the Prosperity4All project

• Tobii eye gaze, which still impresses all, who try it out for the first time • Sony´s VR on Playstation • Google Home, speech assisted environmental control

Summarizing the event, we all had a good time together, the message of the Prosperity4All project was delivered, all participants impressed by the technical possibilities and happy to get the opportunity for a first-hand experience.

Figure 12. 2nd Open Day at Austrian Pilot site –Demonstrations.



Figure 13. 2nd Open Day at Austrian Pilot site –Virtual Reality glasses.

Evaluation of Feedback forms Four of the participants have participated at the second UL testing phase, three of them already at the first evaluation round. Therefore, they already got a very good first-hand impression of the strengths and weaknesses of the GPII UL website in its current state. While they are still in favor of the general idea…

Opportunities It´s one landing page for all assistive products. It´s a place full of information.

… their feedback on the current state of the website reflects their experience in the test phases and is more critical compared to the first open day.



Figure 14. 2nd Open Day at Austrian Pilot site –Feedback forms results.

One of the participants took the time and a second thorough look at the UL website back at home. He showed it to friends, discussed the findings and sent us a summary per email, which also contributed to the following list.

What did you like least? Bad translations: The website has to be in good German! Parts of the website present too much text with insufficient structure. Text-to-speech would be very helpful. Loading times are too slow.

Half of the stakeholders said that they have already heard about the Prosperity4All project before and/or have been present at the evaluation rounds.



Again, the results are more critical compared to the first round as they comprise not only the idea but also the actual implementation of the idea. A major critique was that there are still a lot of barriers for their clients.

There are some issues that our attendants with access needs did not like so much:

What did you like least?

Translations are missing. The website has to be in German! The name “Unified Listing” does not produce any meaningful association. Parts of the webpage are too small.

Most of the stakeholders that participated have expertise/work in close collaboration with people with physical and learning disabilities. They all think that GPII UL is helpful for its target group and gave the following feedback.

All of them would recommend the UL to other interested parties, mostly because it covers the needs of their clients and meets set requirements. But there are also concerns as it is not a ready product yet and some doubt the sustainability after the project phase. Obvious recommendation for improvement is a good translation to German.



Spanish Pilot site 1st Open Day at Fundación ONCE premises Fundación ONCE for Cooperation and Social Inclusion of Persons with Disabilities was born in February 1988, through resolution of the ONCE General Council, and was presented to society in September of that same year as an instrument for cooperation and solidarity of Spanish blind people towards other collectives of persons with disabilities to improve their life conditions.

The mission of ONCE Foundation is to contribute to the complete social inclusion of persons with disabilities, contributing to the principle of equal opportunities and non-discrimination.

To achieve its mission, ONCE Foundation has defined the following objectives or primary goals:

• To promote full occupational integration of persons with disabilities.

• To promote professional qualification, occupational competences as well as personal and professional skills, and determine factors in terms of employability of persons with disabilities and therefore in the occupational integration process.

• To promote universal accessibility and design for all in areas as construction, urban development means of transportation, technology products and services and culture and leisure.

ILUNION and FONCE have worked with many users in the last decade. The collaboration of ILUNION and ONCE Foundation makes available thousands of users for participating at regional events and Open Days. The first Open Day were carried out where the evaluations took place, at the FONCE building at the center of Madrid that is easily accessible to users and stakeholders.

Figure 15. Spanish pilot site- ONCE Foundation premises.



The Department of Technology and Accessibility and R&D of Fundación ONCE is at the forefront of research and innovation, having taken part in projects under the Seventh Framework Program of the European Union and Horizon 2020 such as: AEGIS (Open Accessibility Everywhere: Groundwork, Infrastructure, Standards) http://www.aegis-project.eu/, ICARUS (Innovative changes in air transport research for universally designed services) www.icarusproject.eu and CLOUD4ALL Cloud platforms Lead to Open and Universal access for people with Disabilities and for All http://www.cloud4all.info

Fundación ONCE is member of the following organizations:

• European Forum of Persons with Disabilities (EDF)

• European Platform for Rehabilitation (EPR)

• European Institute Design for All platform (EIDD).

• European Network for Accessible Tourism (ENAT)

• World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)

Figure 16. Spanish pilot site- ONCE Foundation Conference room.

Taking advantage of the recruitment process for the Prosperity4All pilots, a session was organized in order to showcase the main developments of the project. At the given time, DeveloperSpace was still in private beta, therefore we asked for credentials to show it to the attendees of this Open Day session. The audience was a mix of prospective pilot takers, workers of Fundación ONCE and workers of ILUNION. A few of them were versed in digital accessibility, but that was not the norm. The majority of the workers were experts in physical accessibility (civil engineers,


http://www.aegis-project.eu/

http://www.cloud4all.info/


architects), with some others coming from the field of Finance. People who were not Fundación ONCE or ILUNION employees, were mostly students, stay-at-home moms and pensioners. After the introduction and welcoming of attendees, we showcased Prosperity4All project as a whole with a PowerPoint presentation that was followed by a Q&A time. The following type of users attended the event:

• Visual impairment: blindness, partly blurred vision, color blindness, difficulties with central or periphery visual field.

• Hearing impairment: hypoacusis (moderate hearing loss) or completely deafness.

• Learning disability: short term memory loss, dyslexia, speech impairments, aphasia.

• Physical impairment: reduced dexterity in upper limbs, moderate motor problems or wheelchair users because of severe motor problems

Most of them face problems while using computers, smartphones, and accessing internet and need assistive technologies.

The rest of the day interactions took place though the conduction of a focus group. Some attendees had to leave but those remaining started to ask questions and express their expectations and requests on what they would like to find in DeveloperSpace.



Figure 17. 1st Open Day at Fundación ONCE premises-Attendants.

In general, the audience was afraid that the site is too technical and much become more centered towards the needs of computer-savvy people What we can do on the matter, is to try to provide value to the already existing sections to connect with people and associations, given that among the goals of the project having a site of interest for developers is one of the most important. On the other hand, they liked the approach of the European projects and the variety of research institutes and companies working together.



German Pilot site

The Study Centre for the Visually Impaired Students (SZS) is a cross faculty service and research facility at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). As part of the university, the SZS assists blind and partially sighted students, particularly in the completion of the study courses offered at KIT. Strategic components of the work of SZS include beyond this service offerings and research. Facilities exist that host a range of assistive technologies particularly for this user group. Accessible workstations exist for parallel testing. An extension of those facilities is planned in the near future. As supervisors/conductors our support center stuff has long-term experience on the one hand in making IT and AT accessible to visually impaired and on the other in preparing testing guidelines and tutorials for different accessibility studies.

First Open Day: German Pilot Site (3.-5. May 2017)

In March 2017, we invited more than 30 people, who were either blind or representatives of associations of the blind in Germany to participate at the first Open Day. Because most of the invited people were not able to come to the KIT (mainly due to time or traveling constraints), the open day was directly brought to them, i.e. to the SightCity Frankfurt, the biggest exhibition for aids for the blind and the visually impaired in Germany.

SightCity 2017 in Frankfurt

SightCity Frankfurt is an annual exhibition for aids for the blind and the visually impaired. With 127 exhibitors and about 4,000 visitors, it is the biggest exhibition in this field in Germany.

SightCity Frankfurt provides detailed information on different aspects of this topic and a variety of aids. The exhibitors show "classic aids" such as mobility aids, high-tech aids, electronic aids, aids for daily life as well as online banking for blind and visually impaired and touristic offers with special care for blind and visually impaired guests.

The KIT at SightCity

Prosperity4All was represented by the study center for visually impaired (SZS) (i.e. Thorsten Schwarz and Gerhard Jaworek as SP3 partners and responsible for end-user testing in SP4), as well as Andrea Schankin (for implementer testing in SP4) during all three days of the exhibition.

The SZS supports and advises visually impaired students and prospective students in all study courses offered at KIT. As a cross-disciplinary team, it continuously develops innovative and individual solutions for accessible studies.

Figure 19.The stand of the KIT at SightCity 2017.

Activities

During the exhibition, we: • presented the activities of Prosperity4All to the visitors, explaining the goals and the

current status; • actively visited other exhibitors to extend contacts and inviting people for later evaluation

activities.

German Pilot Site Second Open Day

For the second open day, KIT partner organized a presentation event of our center (SZS) and his offered services at the inclusive Betty-Hirsch school, to involve as many participants as possible. It held in Stuttgart on January 18, 2018.

Figure 21. 2nd Open Day at KIT –Dissemination material.

The inclusive Betty-Hirsch-Schule is a primary and secondary school, and it is aimed at children and young people with special needs in the field of vision as well as at pupils without visual impairment. In September 2011, a first inclusive class started, in which children with and without visual impairments learn together. The goal is to be able to offer the inclusive school as an integrated model in the future.

Received the invitation to the open day, the staff of the Nikolauspflege Institute Stuttgart, of the Betty-Hirsch-School, the participants to the tests conducted during our previous Projects in Stuttgart, and our local contacts. Overall, there were 19 participants. The audience was heterogeneous with different stakeholders as described in detail in the table below.

The agenda of the Open Day was:

• Opening of the event

• Presentation of SZS and his services

• The Prosperity for all project

◦ Developer Space

◦ Unified listing

◦ An example of use of Prosperity4All infrastructure: The SZS Print Service

(developed by SZS during the Prosperity4All project)



• Other interesting projects of SZS (AT-Map, Cooperate)

• Open session: Free discussion and demonstrations

• Greeting and closing of the event

The meeting was informative for all the participants, only some of them knew already the services offered by SZS. All the projects presented, and in particular Prosperity4All, were new for the participants, so our Open Day was the first contact with them.

During the open session, were presented some examples of tactile learning materials printed during the last university semester at KIT by the print service. Tactile materials and some geographical maps printed on swell paper were presented to introduce the IVEO device (Interactive Tactile Graphics- ViewPlus) and the audio-tactile maps developed during the AT-Map project.

At the end of the open-session, started spontaneously a "round-table discussions", where all the participants joined actively, about the tactile materials, the related technologies, and the advantages and the disadvantages of the different AT in use. The different background of the participants offered an interesting and long discussion before leaving the meeting.

To raise the effectiveness of the open day and encourage more participants to get involved in Prosperity4All, some promotional flyers were printed also in Braille with the links to Developer Space and Unified Listing websites, very appreciated by some participants.



Large Open Day Events Greek Pilot site CERTH/ HIT Open Day 2017 - Final demonstration event The final demonstration event held in Greece on 5th of November 2017.

The final demonstration event was the final “Open Day” at CERTH premises and was demonstrated the DeveloperSpace and UnifiedListing (DS and UL) in their final versions. Feedback that was collected used in order partners to further update Proserity4All technologies. Representation of all Targeted Audience Groups (TAGs) was attained.

Organization of the final event started at least 6 months prior the meeting to ensure optimal execution. Invitations were sent out not only to identified stakeholders but to H2020 projects with similar aims and objectives to ensure a viable transfer of knowledge. CERTH/ HIT Open Day 2017 (http://imet.gr/openday2017/).

CERTH/ HIT opened its gates on 5th of November 2017 to welcome the public and demonstrated its achievements. Among CERTH/ HIT’s achievements was also Prosprity4All. During the Open day the public had the opportunity to watch the Prosprity4All demo videos as well as to have a hands-on experience with the Prosperity4All tools and infrastructure. This gave the opportunity to stakeholders to express their opinions and feedback about the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of the demonstrated technologies. The event was attended by more than 100 people from diverse backgrounds (researchers, developers, end-users, end-user organizations’ administration teams, teachers, students and pupils, parents, caregivers of people with access needs, people with access needs, etc.).

The comments from the stakeholders were very positive. They enjoyed the experience from the Prosperity4All demonstration videos, which they mentioned they reflected in a very short time the main objectives of the project, focusing on the involvement of the users in it. In the strengths of the demonstration videos, their duration and compact of information was enlisted, while as weaknesses the speed of the voice and the moving images.

Fundación ONCE organized the second Open Day event in the context of the International Congress on Technology and Tourism for All from 27th to 29th September 2017 in the Trade Fairs and Congress Center of Malaga (Spain).

Figure 25. Trade Fairs and Congress Center of Malaga (Spain).

This large scale event was organized in collaboration with UNWTO (World Tourism Organization), ENAT( European Network for Accessible Tourism) and The Royal Board ON Disability and with the support of Vodafone Foundation Spain, SAMSUNG and eSMARCITY.es, among others.

The congress was intended for participants from universities, research institutions, manufacturers and developers of ICT services and products, associations of the elderly and disabled, companies providing care and services for people with special needs, tourism industry.

During this event, Fundación ONCE devoted a booth fully for Prosperity4All demonstration activities, where congress speakers and general audience could see in action the latest results of the project. Using the form of an Open Day, the DeveloperSpace and the Unified listing were firstly demoed to the attendants and then they tried the sites for themselves, providing feedback in the process. A signature sheet was present at the booth, and we received 25 signatures.

We can safely esteem a ratio 1 to 4 in signatures (most of them were having coffee at the same time, some of them were only on a part of the presentation, and a few of them had to rush to the congress before the signature sheet was handed), so the final audience of the booth should be around 120 people. Regarding the profiles, there was a mix of power users, accessibility professionals, developers and students. It might be derived from the audience of the congress, but the attendants to the demos felt the DeveloperSpace of greater value than the UnifiedListing. They liked especially the ‘Components’ section; and those of them that were teaching at the University valued equally positively the ‘Learn’ section.

One of the main objectives of the AAATE Conference was to bring together researchers, professionals, manufacturers, end users and their families, and combine their knowledge, expertise, needs and expectations, contributing in a multidisciplinary way to the success at this meeting and beyond. For this reason, Prosperity4All organized a STS to present the Developer Space and Unified Listing.

In AAATE 2017, Prosperity4All had a booth outside the conference’s rooms. Many people visited the booth and asked information for the project and watched the demonstration videos. In AAATE 2017, the intermediate version of the demonstration videos was shown. The comments were very positive, outlining the importance of the video for them to understand the concept of the project. Some comments were related to the amount and speed of information at the video, proposing to slow down the speed and reduce the amount of the images used to enhance the content.

There were a broad and diverse range of problems set, but each problem was one that has the potential to be solved by assistive technology of some form. The tournament was focused on ideas generation, innovation and creativity towards solutions, rather than the development of solutions themselves. Students were free to present their ideas in a range of formats such as digital posters, presentation slides or pitches. The ideas were judged by a panel of experts, including industrial partners, conference sponsors, assistive technology entrepreneurs, business leaders, University alumni, and research partners

EVENTS Researcher’s night 2017

CERTH/ HT had a booth at the Researcher’s night 2017 (http://www.researchersnight.gr/) that was held in Thessaloniki. The main presentation of CERTH/ HT during this event saw the presentation of Prosperity4All and the demos in a big screen, so everybody could see them. There were plenty of people who visited the booth and they were very interested in finding out what it is about. The demonstration videos captured lots of their attention and allowed them to find out in a clear and quick way all they needed about the project. Some comments received during that night were also related with the amount of the information at the videos and the way it was presented sometimes. The stakeholders proposed to have slower pace of voice, less captions per slide and no moving images.

VIP Tour

At the VIP Tour event, which was organized on Tuesday the 31st October 2017, the important activities of CERTH/HIT and its research achievements were presented, launching a route of extroversion and information of the citizens. The intense interest of the media and the presence of governor of the Region of Central Macedonia, the president of Transport Authority of Thessaloniki, as well as the presence of representatives of the Municipality of Thessaloniki and of the University of Macedonia, gave the stigma of the high-profile and of the highly innovative and development-oriented HIT profile.

In his presentation, the Director of HIT, Dr. Evangelos Bekiaris, referred to data relating to HIT activities, stressing the impressively high expertise of the scientific staff of the institute, to the important collaboration with entities and educational organizations, its high accessibility research profile and to its resilient “route” during the period of economic recession and the excellent prospects, based on the HIT orientation to excellence.

Dr. Evangelos Bekiaris presented to the local stakeholders and journalists the main concept of Prosperity4All project, the Unified Listing and the Developer Space. The event was attended by 30 governmental representatives and employees.

Dr. Bekiaris emphasized that Prosperity4All Technologies could help local communities to provide accessible IT services to its citizens, while he highlighted the necessity for the support of Greek innovation, as well as for the promotion of the existence of HIT and the dissemination of its activities among citizens, aiming at profitability, in the interests of society.

Feedback forms Evaluation Hereafter are presented the most important results that emerged through evaluation forms that were completed by 125 people across these various cross Europe events. Specifically, the forms were filled in by 45 developers, 65 end users with different access needs and 15 stakeholders. The following three graphs respondents’ potential previous interaction with the project and its developments and actually presents their naivity to the project. It is obvious that -in most of the cases- almost one third of the respondents had heard previously about Prosperity4All project. Figure 36. Have you heard of PROSPERITY4ALL before?-Regional OpenDays.

Figure 38. Have you heard of PROSPERITY4ALL before? Events Conferences.

The following figure presents the experience of developers in Assistive Technologies.

It appears that most developers, with previous AT experience, have experience in developing applications for blind /low vision users and motor impaired users. Figure 39. Have you developed applications for any of the groups below?

The two figures that follow, present the perceived usefulness of DeveloperSpace and UnifiedListing. Most attendees stated that both are useful.



59

Figure 40. Perceived usefulness of Developer Space.

Figure 41. Perceived usefulness Unified Listing.

The last two graphs present the Willingness of the end users to use Developer Space and Unified Listing in the future. It is obvious that a great percentage of users tend to be interested in using Prosperity4All Technologies. All those results support the fact that the technologies developed (or improved) within Prosperity4All aim to support diverse stakeholder groups (actors), even and after the end of the project.

4 Conclusion

This document presents the actual demonstration activities that took place in the events, workshops and Open Days across Europe and internationally during the second half of project.

The aim of all those demonstration activities was to spark discussions and initiate collaborations with outside interested parties, companies, organizations, and affiliates.

The feedback collected during these events is presented in this document and it was overall positive and encouraging that interest for these developments exists and can be flourished in the future.

Evaluation from feedback forms was communicated to both development and demonstration teams to improve the components and products within Prosperity4All project.

In conclusion, through all those activities we tried to make the Prosperity4All a place for other EU projects, Users with access needs, Developers, End User Organizations, etc. to learn about accessibility, find components and offer their products and services through the relevant Prosperity4All infrastructures.
