<h2><b>What is the purpose of this UX research?</b></h2><br><br>
Oracle’s mission is to help people <i>see data in new ways</i>, discover
insights, and unlock endless possibilities. As part of our accessibility
commitment, we include blind or low vision (BLV) people across the entire
design process to help us make Redwood much more accessible. This will
help us build foundational knowledge about BLV users, identifying
opportunities for design, iterating on ideas inflight, and ultimately
evaluating what we’ve built. Specifically, the goal of the research is to
understand the needs, challenges, and pain points of BLV users in the
workplace, and as they relate to complex data consumption. <br><br>
<br><br>
<h2><b>What does participation in this research look
like?</b></h2><br><br>
A typical session will be a 1-on-1 interview, lasting 30 minutes, in an
effort to understand your needs and challenges in the workplace
specifically related to complex data consumption.<br><br>
<br><br>
<h2><b>What incentive will participants receive?</b></h2><br><br>
Qualifying participants will receive a premium picnic blanket and tote
bag as a thank-you gift <br><br>
<br><br>
