Research Title: Dismantling Accessibility Barriers Between Visually
Impaired Social Media Users and Digital Art



Being conducted by: Rochester Institute of Technology



Purpose of the Study

The purpose of this research study is to better understand the digital art
consumption habits of internet users who are blind or visually impaired.
To do this, we will analyze current methods for engaging with digital
artwork, accessibility barriers encountered during the process, and user
needs and desires for future assistive technologies.



Role of the Participants and Anticipated Length of the Study

Participants will take a fully accessible 10-15-minute-long survey about
their experiences with digital art. At the end of the survey, participants
may choose to leave their contact information for a follow-up interview and
screen-sharing activity. The interview will ask participants to elaborate
on their survey responses and share a piece of artwork they recently found
online. The session will last 45-60 minutes and take place over Zoom.



Proposed Participant Compensation

Yes, Participants who complete the interview session will receive $10
through Venmo, PayPal, or a similar payment platform.
