We are recruiting participants for a usability study on an accessible 3D modeling workflow for the blind and visually impaired. Participants with any experience of programming are preferred; proficiency not required. During the study, participants will be introduced to a 3D modeling application and system and perform six short tasks. The system consists of modifying short program statements and previewing them through a tactile shape display. The study will be conducted in the California Bay Area in the months of April to May and last between 1.5 to 2 hours. Participants will be compensated $50 for their time.

If you are interested in learning more about the study and helping to improve access to 3D modeling and design tools for blind makers and professionals please contact Alexa Siu (through email: afsiu at stanford.edu or phone: 404-543/8057). Alexa is a PhD Student at Stanford University conducting research to advance accessible interfaces for Making (e.g. 3D modeling and printing, electronics prototyping) for the blind and visually impaired.
