We are seeking to interview individuals who identify with both visual and physical disabilities to identify their experiences when navigating or planning routes. The findings would help us better understand ways in which navigational technologies could be better designed to match the needs of a wider selection of users. The interviews would last 60 to 90 minutes, conducted over phone or Skype. A small giftcard is also available for your participation. If you would be interested in participating, could you please contact Dr. Ravi Kuber at (<a href="mailto:rkuber@umbc.edu">rkuber@umbc.edu</a>) or Ali Abdolrahmani (<a href="mailto:aliab1@umbc.edu">aliab1@umbc.edu</a>).<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:10.0pt;line-height:115%'> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:10.0pt;line-height:115%'>Sincerely,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:10.0pt;line-height:115%'> <o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal>-- <o:p></o:p></p><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal>--Best<o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal>Ali Abdolrahmani<o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal>PhD Student<o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal>Human-Centered Computing<o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal>Information Systems department<o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal>University of Maryland Baltimore County<o:p></o:p></p></div></div></div></div></blockquote></div></body></html>
