LG Electronics said on the 12th that it participated in the accessibility conference "CSUN AT 2026" and unveiled a range of solutions that help anyone use products conveniently.
Held on the 9th (local time) in Anaheim, United States, and running for four days, the event is an assistive technology (AT) conference hosted by California State University (CSUN). LG Electronics set up a dedicated booth, allowing visitors to experience products and services that enhance accessibility for people with disabilities and seniors firsthand. LG Electronics became the first in the home appliance industry to participate in CSUN AT last year. With its second participation this year, it expanded full-fledged exchanges with academic experts and disability organizations.
At this year's exhibition, LG Electronics unveiled for the first time a new kiosk co-developed with Dot, a company specializing in braille devices. The product integrates a braille panel, sign-language guidance, and a screen reader. Wheelchair users and shorter customers can press a button to adjust the height of the kiosk stand.
The AI Home Hub ThinQ ON converses with customers, learns and predicts daily patterns, and controls home appliances or Internet of Things (IoT) devices in the home. IoT sensors capable of door-open alerts, motion detection, and power monitoring also provide alerts with light instead of sound so that people with hearing impairments can use them conveniently.
In addition, the exhibition featured: ▲ the "LG Comfort Kit" accessory that helps anyone use appliances easily regardless of gender, age, or disability ▲ visual and hearing support features built into LG organic light-emitting diode (OLED) TVs.
LG Electronics is carrying out various initiatives to improve accessibility in using appliances. These include: ▲ the "Appliance School Project," which helps children and teenagers use products safely ▲ the "LG for Everyone, by Everyone" campaign, which introduces how to use products and services through videos for customers with disabilities and seniors.
Hong Seong-min, head of ESG Office at LG Electronics, said, "We will continue our efforts to realize our ESG vision of 'A Better Life for All' so that everyone can freely enjoy technology regardless of gender, age, or disability."
