[Nyabs] Opportunity to experience 3D printing technology and participate research at Cornell Tech

[Lei Shi]

Hi everyone,

3D printing technology is coming. Schools and institutions are using 3D printers to design and create tactile models for educational purpose. With a 3D printer, you can print out tactile models at your home.

We’re interested in how to make 3D printed models more interactive, and we designed several interactive models that can explain themselves when a user touch them. We are looking for volunteers to participate in a study to help us with our work. You’re invited to play with these interactive models. Please see below for details about the study.

Objective:
This study is to explore the design of interactive 3D printed models, and evaluate our current design.

Participant must be:
at least 18 years old.
functionally blind or have used tactile graphics

Location:
111 8th Ave, New York, NY 10011

Duration and Time:
The duration is approximately 1.5 Hours. Times are flexible, Please contact Lei (ls776 at cornell.edu <mailto:ls776 at cornell.edu>) to set up an appointment.

Participants will be compensated $15 for each hour of a study session. If participants require assistance with transportation to the study location, we will pay for their transportation expenses up to $60.

If you are interested or have questions about the user study, please contact us at ls776 at cornell.edu <mailto:ls776 at cornell.edu> (Lei Shi). You will be asked a few screening questions to ensure that you are a good fit for our study before participating our research.

We look forward to meeting with you and learning from your experiences! If you have some friends who are also interested in this study, please feel free to forward this email or ask them to contact us. Thank you so much for your help!

Best,
The Enhancing Ability Lab, Cornell Tech
