QR Code Issues for the Blind



최근 방역 패스 정책이 확대되면서 많은 장애인분이 어려움을 겪고 있습니다. 요즘에 거의 모든 시설이나 밖에 나가면 무조건 해야 하는 게 QR코드 인증인데요, QR코드 인증하는 스크린이 항상 일정하지 않다 보니까 많은 시각장애 분들이 코드 인식 하는걸 어려워하신다고 해요. 보통 음식점이나 카페 같은 곳을 들어가면 문 근처에 있을 수도 있지만 때론 카운터 쪽이나 직원들이 들고 있을 수도 있어 QR 인증이 시각장애인들 입장에선 혼자 하기에는 어려울 것 같습니다. 하지만 QR코드 인증을 안 하면 시설을 못 들어가기 때문에 어떤 시각장애인분은 혼자 인증을 못 하셔서 밥을 못 드셨다는 소식을 들으니 많이 안타깝네요…

장애인분들을 위해 방역제도와 시설에서의 배려가 조금 더 개선됐으면 좋을 거 같아요.

Showdown Volunteer 5/25

I woke up and started packing my things for another exciting day, the Showdown competition! Showdown is a fast-paced sport played on a specially built table that can be enjoyed by people of all ages and skill levels. The game aims to hit the ball off the side wall, across the table, beneath the center screen, and into the opponent's goal.  When I went to where the 8th Will-Cup was held, the participants were preparing for their 9 - 10 hour competition. The atmosphere was thrilling, filled with hope and enthusiasm. Players warmed up, practiced their serves and returns, and shared last-minute advice with their coaches and fellow participants. My involvement in the competition was both rewarding and enriching. I had been assigned to assist blind children in navigating the event, ensuring they could track their matches and find their way. Despite they didn't ask for help, I reached my hand before them. When they refused for help, rather than thinking rudely, it was just an experie...

Volunteering at the Showdown Tournament

During the Showdown tournament, I had the rewarding task of guiding teenage athletes through the maze-like hallways to their respective tournament rooms. Observing the young athletes' passion for their sport was highly inspiring. Beyond my assigned duties, I extended help to other athletes in the hallways and eventually took on the role of scorekeeper for a couple of games. Having previously played the sport myself, I was particularly impressed by the athletes' skills. Showdown requires players to track the location of the ball by listening to the sound of beads inside it, demanding intense concentration and sharp hearing. Despite these challenges, the games moved at an extremely fast pace, almost as if the athletes could visually perceive the ball. A standout memory from this experience was a conversation I had with an athlete during his break. He shared details about the range of sports he plays as well as his upcoming competitions, giving me a glimpse into his impressive ath...

An Unforgettable Art Experience

Image
  This past weekend, members of SeeSaw gathered together with visually impaired individuals to experience collaborating and learning art together. We learned the flat knot technique and applied it to create phone bracelets and worry dolls, where we could vent out all of our struggles and feel relieved. Throughout the experience, I both learned the technique and aided the visually impaired in feeling the knots and finding the sensory techniques to tie the knots themselves. I saw that they thoroughly enjoyed the experience and were delighted the entire time; one of the people even stated that they had stayed up all night for the experience! Ultimately, it was a fun experience where I bonded with numerous individuals and I felt accomplished at succeeding to collaborate with those who need our help.
