The main purpose of this project is to develop a database of blind individuals who are interested in providing feedback on new assistive technologies. This project is sponsored by Arizona State University’s Center for Cognitive Ubiquitous Computing (CUBC) which designs haptic technologies to assist people who are blind and visually impaired. We need to hear from the blind community about the most appropriate applications of this technology. By signing up to join the database, you will be able to comment on the real assistive technology needs of the blind community, evaluate their ideas for new haptic technologies, and participate in user studies.<br><br>Adults who are 18 years or older and who are blind or visually impaired are eligible to participate. The study involves a 10-minute survey asking about your demographics and assistive technology use. This will help us send you invitations to future studies for which you qualify.<br><br>You will have the chance to enter into a raffle drawing where three individuals will each win a $100 gift card if you decide to complete the survey.<br><br>This study has been approved by the Institutional Review Board at Arizona State University.<br><br>To begin the study, click here:<br><br><a href="https://goo.gl/forms/tNYsz4wPhlHGNSZQ2">https://goo.gl/forms/tNYsz4wPhlHGNSZQ2</a> <br><br> <br><br>If you have any questions or concerns about the study, feel free to contact me at<br><br><a href="mailto:arielle@disabilitywisdom.com">arielle@disabilitywisdom.com</a><br><br>Or the principal investigator, Troy McDaniel, at<br><br><a href="mailto:Troy.mcdaniel@asu.edu">Troy.mcdaniel@asu.edu</a><br><br>Thank you for your help with this research.<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
