The below research participant solicitation is being provided for informational purposes only. The National Federation of the Blind has no involvement in this research.

 

Hello, 

 

 We are a group of researchers at University of Illinois Urbana- Champaign and are recruiting blind and low vision adults to try out a new browser extension designed to show additional information on websites visited. 

 

Research project: Our group has developed a browser extension tool called GuardLens to navigate websites. It is designed to provide blind and low vision users easy access to security and privacy-related information about a website upon request. For instance, GuardLens performs automated analyses of images and site content to provide information related to website security, kind of website, and visual safety information such as inappropriate images, number of ads on screens, and description of large images on the screen. The study session will be for 1 hour and the participant will be compensated with a $30 amazon gift card. Please fill out the  <https://illinoisaces.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_cuotv83CnBAc9Rs> recruitment survey to participate.

 

Please feel free to reach out to principal investigator Dr. Yang Wang at  <mailto:yvw at illinois.edu> yvw at illinois.edu or 217-244-0401 if you need additional details.

 

Thank you!
