[NFBMD] Invitation to participate in the Testing of a Wayfinding Application

[Lewis, Anil]

From the Sendero Group:



We would like to invite you to participate in a test measuring the usability of an indoor wayfinding App prototype under development at Sendero Group. Some of you are probably aware that the NFB's Jernigan Institute has been equipped with a series of Bluetooth wayfinding beacons and WiFi fingerprinting. They are an integral component of the Sendero prototype.

Earlier this year, Sendero Group was awarded a federal grant from the National Institute of Disability, Independent Living and Rehabilitation Research to develop an iOS-based app for wayfinding inside large buildings, such as airports, malls, sports arenas, hotels, and the like.
Given you are a blind traveler, you surely have an intimate knowledge of the wayfinding challenges posed by such places. We are writing to ask you to help us with that project by volunteering to participate in an on-site research study at the NFB Jernigan Institute in Baltimore.  We will be testing the effectiveness of the Sendero prototype. The testing dates will be April 20 through April 22.  Each participant will be reimbursed up to $100 for receipted travel expenses.
