Graphiti Field Testers Needed




The Graphiti is a refreshable tactile graphics display developed by Orbit
Research and the American Printing House for the Blind. Graphiti's
breakthrough technology allows graphics to be represented by means of an
array of variable-height pins. The unit consists of a 60 x 40 grid of
variable-height, equidistant pins. Graphiti features the ability to detect
touch, so the student can draw, zoom, or scroll directly on the display.
To watch videos of the Graphiti in action and see a list of features, visit
our website @ http://www.aph.org/graphiti/ <http://www.aph.org/graphiti/> 

APH is seeking field evaluators working with students or clients who are
blind and visually impaired. Teachers will test software, hardware,
connectivity design, and functionality of the Graphiti. Input is needed to
inform the development of tactile graphics for specific content areas, and
assessing the potential for use in the classroom and for online testing.

APH will begin field evaluations in the spring of 2018. If you are
interested in helping to evaluate the Graphiti, please complete a field
evaluator form @ https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/FE-application
