[Ctabs] {Disarmed} Opportunity to participate in accessibility research

[Yuhang Zhao]

Hi everyone,
Our research group at Cornell University is collaborating with Facebook to
study how to use the camera on a smartphone as an assistive tool to provide
people with visual impairment equal access to information. We are looking for
volunteers to participate in a study to help us with our work!
 
What the study is about:
This study is to explore the challenges and strategies that people with visual
impairments have in their daily life, as well as the potential of using the
camera on a smartphone as an assistive tool to help these people with their
living and social activities. In this study, we will ask participants to
complete an online survey. The survey will include 10 – 15 questions, asking
about the challenges and strategies they have when they are attending real-life
social activities or using social network (e.g., uploading photos.) 
 
Participants must:


* Be at least 18 years old
* Have visual impairments or have professional experience working with people
with visual impairments  
We will donate $5 for each completed survey to a non-profit organization
working with people with visual impairments.
 
If you are interested, please follow the link below to take the survey.
