The goal of the study is to reduce barriers to accessibility by making tactile aids easier to read, more informatically dense, and easier to build. Participation is easy and involves touching small, safe material samples with your finger and providing feedback based on your perception such as comparing, discriminating, or describing samples. The duration of the study will last approximately one hour and there are no apparent risks or discomforts but is completely voluntary. Each participant will be compensated a $20 amazon gift card, even if you decide to stop for any reason during the test. Participants can be minors or adults but must have low vision or blindness and have taken high school geometry. Participants who are minors need permission of a legal guardian present at the time of consent.
