A graduate in Economics and Business, he has been working at CRS4 since 2004. He currently works in the Dissemination team, providing support for the planning, communication, dissemination and promotion of accessibility and inclusive technologies, both in relation to internal activities and in initiatives and collaborations with external organisations.Among the projects he has been involved in, %u2018Over the View%u2019 is particularly noteworthy. The project aimed to create systems enabling everyone to enjoy museums, with a particular focus on people with sensory disabilities.Having lost his sight in 2010 due to retinitis pigmentosa, he is now dedicated to the issues of universal accessibility and design for all through conferences, meetings, seminars, workshops and radio programmes.He has embarked on an artistic journey centred on abstract painting and the imaginative use of colour.In his spare time, he enjoys various sporting activities: fencing, swimming, water skiing and archery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":4162,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"gruppo":[99],"class_list":["post-10224","people","type-people","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","gruppo-tecnologie-digitali-en"],"acf":{"name":"Andrea","surname":"Ferrero","email":"ferrero@crs4.it","phone":"","user_uuid":"e3c3701a-99fc-1032-95fe-0030485a3848","personal_page":"","google_scholar_id":"","position":"Technologist","project_coordinator":"","microsoft_academic_id":"","team_members":[{"ID":14998,"post_author":"4","post_date":"2025-07-03 18:20:02","post_date_gmt":"2025-07-03 16:20:02","post_content":"The aim of the project is to provide companies with the tools to deepen their knowledge of accessible museum exhibitions in a perspective of universal design, with particular regard to access for people with sensory disabilities. With the completion of the project, companies will be able to manage independently (in their respective areas of activity: technological, communicative, methodological, regulatory, etc..) the design and implementation of accessible installations.\u00a0 This objective will be achieved with the organization of events for in-depth analysis and technology transfer in favour of the companies belonging to the cluster and with the design, implementation, testing and evaluation of demonstrators for the use accessible to culture. The advent of new technologies and the low-cost availability of a whole series of devices has opened up new scenarios in the design of the experience within museums. Considerable scientific advances have been made in the field of speech recognition and comprehension of text (written or spoken) both with artificial intelligence algorithms and with systems of semantic analysis of natural language, which allow to overcome the limits of graphical interfaces, to which we are accustomed, allowing the creation of interactive applications in which the sense of sight is not engaged. In recent years, researchers working in the field of natural interaction have experimented with different modes of human-computer interaction (gestural, tactile, vocal), thus exploiting all the richness of human expression.
