[ArtBeyondSightMuseums] PhD student seeking interviews for low-cost multiline braille display project

[Ronald Heisser]

Dear Art Beyond Sight,

Sorry for duplicate postings.

My name is Ronald Heisser and I am a PhD student at Cornell University developing new actuator technology for a low-cost multiline braille display concept. I am participating in an NSF-funded commercialization program where I am learning about the blind community and braille industry, by doing 100 interviews in 7 weeks, to determine whether there is a market for my tech.

I'm interested to learn whether some sort of incorporation of multiline displays into art exhibits and installations at museums would increase accessibility and enjoyment for museum goers. But, all thoughts and insights around this are welcome! I am just asking for 15-20 minutes I can do by zoom or phone. I am free all day tomorrow (Wednesday, 7/27), and am flexible for other days this week. My contact information is below.

Thank you,
Ronald Heisser
