About this Episode
In this Episode of lABLEd, Chris Lynch, a wheelchair user with osteogenesis imperfecta and ADHD, discusses his innovative camera system, Caris, designed to level the playing field for disabled camera operators. Caris integrates with his electric wheelchair, the Jenny Zero, and uses a control deck and gimbal for smooth camera operation. The system, which can be operated independently or with assistance, has received positive feedback but faces challenges in convincing the industry of its viability. Chris aims to scale up production and has developed three versions: Caris Vista, Caris Rover, and Caris Studio. He emphasizes the importance of inclusive technology in enabling disabled individuals to pursue creative careers.
