Introduction
I enjoy helping others get more from their technology than they realize is possible. Apple has historically done a great job in many ways making hardware and software more accessible for differently-abled users. With the pandemic, new challenges have arisen: with physical and social distancing having been the norm for the past fifteen months, how can a person with low- or no-vision maintain their personal space if they are unable to see others in proximity? Apple has innovated new technology, coupled with existing infrastructure, to debut an assistive software called People Detection.

Apple has innovated new technology, coupled with existing infrastructure, to debut an assistive software called People Detection.
People Detection uses the camera on an iPhone, plus a few other high-end technologies like LiDar and Voice Over, to indicate the prescence of people and how far away they are from the user. The software can be set up to notify the user with sounds, speech, and haptic feedback. The closer a user is to another person, the more pronounced that feedback is. People Detection is a tool that can set up in a few steps.

About Me
About Me
My name is Becky Roesch. I am currently the digital marketing coordinator for a small firm in my hometown of St. Louis, Missouri. Previous to this, I was a Creative trainer with Apple (where I taught folks how to use their technology better, and hosted tech learning field-trips for youth and community groups). My working life started when I was teaching elementary school to fourth and fifth graders, way, way back in the day. This is my first grad class with Mizzou; I’m excited to be back in school, and looking forward to being on the learning side of the desk for a while.
When I'm not working or going to school, I am raising two witty, beautiful, and fiercely independent teenager daughters and a ferocious-not-ferocious-at-all pit bull named Pepper. I like to read, cook, swim, and swing dance-- and while I may run, I don't like to.
