> Opportunity to support research around 3D digital models
> We are recruiting participants for a research study on how people who are blind or have low vision explore and understand 3D digital models through touch. The study is testing a tactile interface that presents cross-sections of 3D models on a dynamic tactile display. If you were at the recent NFBW convention, you probably had a chance to experience this dynamic tactile display first-hand.
>
> During the research session, participants will explore physical objects and digital models using the tactile display and describe what they feel and how they interpret the structure. This research will help in the design of more accessible 3D modeling tools.
>
> Details
> Eligibility: We are seeking individuals who:
> Are blind or have low vision
> Are 18 years or older
