00:00:00.390 --> 00:00:02.430
<v ->At Comcast, we believe that when you make</v>

2
00:00:02.430 --> 00:00:06.090
a product more accessible or more inclusive,

3
00:00:06.090 --> 00:00:08.676
you build a better product for everyone.

4
00:00:08.676 --> 00:00:11.843
(light vibrant music)

5
00:00:20.670 --> 00:00:22.320
With the large button voice remote,

6
00:00:22.320 --> 00:00:25.777
we essentially reimagined the remote and said,

7
00:00:25.777 --> 00:00:30.450
"Okay, what could we do to make this remote better

8
00:00:30.450 --> 00:00:32.820
for people with dexterity challenges,

9
00:00:32.820 --> 00:00:35.310
maybe for those who have arthritis,

10
00:00:35.310 --> 00:00:37.020
people who have low vision?"

11
00:00:37.020 --> 00:00:39.300
It was time to design the large button remote

12
00:00:39.300 --> 00:00:42.030
with voice capability just like our other remotes.

13
00:00:42.030 --> 00:00:45.570
We went to places like New Horizons,

14
00:00:45.570 --> 00:00:48.060
an assisted living facility in Connecticut,

15
00:00:48.060 --> 00:00:49.890
and met with some of their residents.

16
00:00:49.890 --> 00:00:53.400
<v ->It is very important to integrate voice into a remote</v>

17
00:00:53.400 --> 00:00:55.650
that has all of these accessibility features.

18
00:00:55.650 --> 00:00:58.320
We know from research with our standard remotes

19
00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:01.110
that the power of voice really allows folks

20
00:01:01.110 --> 00:01:05.370
to have access to different parts of the video experience.

21
00:01:05.370 --> 00:01:08.550
<v ->As a member of the design team at Comcast,</v>

22
00:01:08.550 --> 00:01:10.410
everything that we do is human centered.

23
00:01:10.410 --> 00:01:13.020
It starts with the user and ends with the user.

24
00:01:13.020 --> 00:01:16.050
We've been able to add voice, tactile button feedback,

25
00:01:16.050 --> 00:01:18.900
as well as premium materials and finishes.

26
00:01:18.900 --> 00:01:21.840
We've added back lighting to the buttons.

27
00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:24.150
<v ->The voice guide is an industry first</v>

28
00:01:24.150 --> 00:01:25.950
with the included audio chip,

29
00:01:25.950 --> 00:01:27.960
so as the user opens it up,

30
00:01:27.960 --> 00:01:30.510
they will be greeted with a voice activation

31
00:01:30.510 --> 00:01:34.500
of each step of the device installation process.

32
00:01:34.500 --> 00:01:37.920
<v ->Life has enough challenges of itself, right?</v>

33
00:01:37.920 --> 00:01:42.210
But it's the little things like the bigger button

34
00:01:42.210 --> 00:01:44.160
or the voice automated remote

35
00:01:44.160 --> 00:01:47.640
that can keep your whole day of frustration at bay.

36
00:01:47.640 --> 00:01:49.620
Having this large button voice remote

37
00:01:49.620 --> 00:01:53.246
has just made viewing experience so much more pleasurable.

00:01:53.246 --> 00:01:56.413
