Abstract
At present, the fast and constant evolution of intelligent terminals and mobile platforms is opening a new world of possibilities and applications that can meet many of the different needs human beings face in their daily lives. It is in the field of accessibility where new technologies can have a real impact, offering new means and alternatives to access the information around us. Modern-day society enjoys a wide range of cultural possibilities everyone can choose from, but persons with auditory and/or visual impairment have problems accessing them. This article presents the WhatsCine system, a system conceived to foster inclusion, shared leisure and equal access to culture for everyone, for the particular case of VOD platforms.
