Co-Creation
Sony's drive towards accessibility
comes from our desire to think, create, and enjoy together.
Global Activities
Each of Sony's offices conducts
activities to deepen understanding of accessibility.
North America
Since 2018, the Accessibility Promotion Office at Sony North America has continuously participated in the CSUN Assistive Technology Conference (CSUN), an event focused on accessibility and innovation.
During the conference, visitors had the opportunity to experience Sony's latest accessibility features, and the team received valuable feedback from a wide range of attendees.
At Sony North America, the Accessibility Promotion Office works closely with a range of advocacy organizations to support accessibility initiatives, including an ongoing partnership with the San Diego Center for the Blind (SDCB).Through continued dialogue and user‑centered feedback, these collaborations help inform product design and address real‑world accessibility needs.
Europe
Sony Europe collaborated with renowned photographer Gary Williamson, who is blind, to launch a new photography collection titled Through Their Lens. The collection explores how technology makes photography accessible to people who are blind or partially sighted, and how advanced technologies that are intuitive and easy to use enable creatives with disabilities to pursue their passion for photography.
Gary captured ten images using the accessibility features of Sony's Alpha 7C II. This collection offers insight into the remarkable and deeply personal creative process behind his visual storytelling.

China
The Sony China accessibility project team supports accessibility initiatives across Sony businesses in China.
Sony has participated in major events such as the China International Import Expo (CIIE), where accessibility‑conscious product design and locally led practices were introduced to show how usability can be improved for diverse users.
In addition, Sony China's Advanced Technology Center is working with Chinese universities on a concept initiative to explore the development of a senior‑friendly intelligent wheelchair.
