This research will examine how museums can transform the way that they think about and create digital audio interpretation for their collections, to enhance inclusion and access for all audiences. For people who are blind or partially blind (BPB), audio description (AD) is traditionally described as a verbal narrative for information available through vision. In both the UK and US, museums are legally obliged to ensure equitable access to their collections. AD is a key tool for achieving this for BPB audiences but museums need to dramatically improve AD provision. Incredibly, the charity VocalEyes found that only 5% of museums in the UK mentioned AD provision on their websites. Museums could transform accessibility through apps, such as Smartify. Smartify currently gives over 3 million users worldwide online access to more than 2 million works of art at home or through a QR code in the museum building. Of these 2 million works, only a handful are offered with AD, and all come from only two institutions - the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery (US) and Royal Holloway Picture Gallery (UK).The need goes beyond inclusive digital access for BPB people - this project it is about enhancing the museum experience for everyone. The pandemic has spotlighted both the scope and desire for digital participation and the massive opportunity for museums to grow audiences. Our previous research has shown that AD benefits not only people who are BPB, an inclusive way to audiences globally through high-quality online access. The UK-US research team brings together experts on psychology, aesthetics and design, critical disability studies, cultural diversity, translation studies and includes members who are partially blind and non-blind, neurotypical and with learning differences and of different ethnic and cultural backgrounds. With our digital heritage sector-leading partners - Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery; Royal Holloway Picture Gallery; Smartify and VocalEyes - this research will challenge current AD practice, where sighted curators/describers produce AD for BPB audiences. We will develop and extend AD usage as a tool for all visitors (blind, partially blind and sighted). We will do this by creating and evaluating the W-ICAD (Workshop for Inclusive Co-created Audio Description) model whereby AD creation is led by partially blind co-creators, collaborating with blind and sighted co-creators. The W-ICAD model will give museums a streamlined way to create new AD, extending their digital provision and boosting inclusion. The research will compare how audiences in the UK and US experience AD so that AD creation takes account of varying cultural needs or expectations.

这项研究将研究博物馆如何改变他们的思考方式并为其收藏创建数字音频解释，从而增强所有受众的包容性和访问权限。对于盲人或部分失明的人（BPB），传统上，音频描述（AD）被描述为通过视觉获得的信息的语言叙事。在英国和美国，博物馆在法律上有义务确保公平地获得其收藏。广告是为BPB观众实现这一目标的关键工具，但博物馆需要大大改善广告供应。令人难以置信的是，慈善机构Vocaleyes发现英国只有5％的博物馆在其网站上提到了广告。博物馆可以通过Smartify等应用程序来改变可访问性。 Smartify当前在全球在线访问超过300万用户在家中或通过博物馆大楼中的QR码来访问超过200万种艺术品。在这200万幅作品中，只有少数广告提供，所有这些都来自两个机构 - 史密森尼国家肖像画廊（美国）和皇家霍洛威图片库（英国）。这项需求超出了BPB人的包容性数字访问 - 该项目是为了增进所有人的博物馆体验。大流行既关注了数字参与的范围和渴望，也是博物馆增加观众的巨大机会。我们以前的研究表明，广告不仅受益于BPB的人，这是通过高质量在线访问在全球范围内吸引观众的一种包容性方式。英国研究团队汇集了心理学，美学和设计，批判性残疾研究，文化多样性，翻译研究的专家，包括部分盲目和非盲，神经型，以及学习差异以及不同种族和文化背景的成员。与我们的数字传统领域领导合作伙伴 - 史密森尼国家肖像画廊；皇家Holloway图片库； Smartify and Vocaleyes-这项研究将挑战当前的广告实践，目光策展人/描述者为BPB受众制作广告。我们将开发并扩展AD用法作为所有访问者的工具（盲人，部分失明和视力）。我们将通过创建和评估W-ICAD（包含共同创建的音频描述）模型来做到这一点，从而由部分盲人共同创造者领导广告创建，并与盲人和视力的共同创造者合作。 W-ICAD模型将为博物馆提供一种简化的方式来创建新广告，扩展其数字规定并提高包容性。这项研究将比较英国和美国的观众如何体验广告，以使广告创作考虑了不同的文化需求或期望。
