<p><span style="font-size:18.0pt;">Hi everyone,</span><br> <span style="font-size:18.0pt;">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! </span><br> <br> <span style="font-size:18.0pt;">What the study is about:</span><br> <span style="font-size:18.0pt;">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.) </span><br> <br> <span style="font-size:18.0pt;">Participants must:</span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size:18.0pt;">Be at least 18 years old</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size:18.0pt;">Have visual impairments or have professional experience working with people with visual impairments</span></li>
</ul>
<p> <br> <span style="font-size:18.0pt;">We will donate $5 for each completed survey to a non-profit organization working with people with visual impairments. </span><br> <br> <span style="font-size:18.0pt;">If you are interested, please follow the link below to take the survey. </span><br> <br> <strong style="line-height: 20.8px;">Follow this link to the Survey:</strong><br style="line-height: 20.8px;"> <span style="line-height: 20.8px;"><a href="https://facebook.co1.qualtrics.com/SE?Q_DL=ea0u1kxhuGcixgx_7VAvlFrGFXO9qhT_MLRP_5zQ7EvRQViO2Pzv&Q_CHL=email">Take the survey</a><br> <br> Or copy and paste the URL below into your internet browser:</span><br style="line-height: 20.8px;"> <span style="line-height: 20.8px;">https://facebook.co1.qualtrics.com/SE?Q_DL=ea0u1kxhuGcixgx_7VAvlFrGFXO9qhT_MLRP_5zQ7EvRQViO2Pzv&Q_CHL=email</span><br> <br> <span style="font-size:18.0pt;">If you have some friends who are also interested in this study, please feel free to forward this email or ask them to contact us.
