The arrival of iPads was a wonderful thing for her, not because the functionality got better but because an iPad was far far cheaper than the array of 20 buttons with self-printed laminated labels she was using with most of her kids.

All that to say, this is fabulous, and well overdue.

When I travel, I really like looking at the public graphics for no parking, no entry, etc. Some places are basically just text, but others really have great little illustrations that communicate the message without needing words.

For example – I think it was in France or Spain where the No Trespassing sign is an angry little yelling man with his hand up. It would be helpful if more public graphic designs made this much effort.

Having something more personalized and hopefully less expensive / easier to bring with you sounds amazingly useful.

I happen to make an interactive pen platform (like TipToi but with an editor that allows one to design and publish their own books with logic, scripting, genai support), much like the author explained at the end; and the AAC is actually a perfect use case. You get everything the author described, but screen free!

This is weirdly misogynistic.
