I wrote up a how-to guide for a new, easy and free way I came up with to make handouts, PowerPoints and presentation materials more accessible for people like me who cannot see them during talks, lectures, etc. The idea is to insert QR codes (of the sort that are on airplane tickets) on presentation materials, which can easily direct a disabled audience member to an electronic version of your materials. After the talk, you can cancel the code so that it doesn't work anymore. This would really help, I think, to make presentations of most any kind more accessible for disabled people.
