Hi all,<br><br>
My name is Arielle Silverman, and I am seeking your help with a research
project. 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>
