[Massachusetts-NFB] Discussion on augmentation for accessibility Tomorrow, Wednesday, November 8 at 7PM

[sharawinton at gmail.com]

Please join a group of students working on a project for augmentation for accessibility. They would like our input. Here is a little from the invitation from Linh and the project.  My name is Linh, I used to work at Motional (previously nuTonomy), a Boston-based self-driving cars company. We’ve collaborated with National Federation of the Blind, as well as other institutions such as Boston University, for some of our accessibility initiatives <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.youtube.com_watch-3Fv-3Dwm6OtM8jeDw-26t-3D4s&d=DwMFAg&c=WO-RGvefibhHBZq3fL85hQ&r=lyWX5aMyRk9wjAv_ucZPzZr_soKvAQXKGoywASv8sw0&m=NfnAx_-sfRT4g0WCCWeZY05Jl36lkS8PhvG72sL1p5vbcvmAG4tQlgUYvn8wIGDc&s=xjmsKBUW0GB8FRkiahw7OtmT02WsiUJTHspWacmY53M&e=>  to design a more accessible robotaxi.

 

Currently, I am pursuing a master’s degree in Design Engineering at Harvard University. Alongside my two colleagues, I’m working on a project focused on Augmentation for Accessibility. Specifically, our research explores how enhancing sensory experiences and methods of communication could be beneficial for individuals with disabilities.

 

We’re hoping to learn from experts in the field before narrowing down our focus and diving further. Please share your insights with us. 

 

I think this will be an interesting discussion and I hope as many of you as possible will join us, tomorrow, Wednesday November 8 at 7PM via zoom.
