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. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">We’re interested in how to make 3D printed models more interactive, and we designed several models. We are looking for volunteers to participate in a study to help us with our work. You’re invited to play with these models and design the interaction gestures with the 3D models. Please see below for details about the study. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Objective: </div><div class="">This study is to explore the design of interactive 3D printed models. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Participant must be: </div><div class=""><ul class="MailOutline"><li class="">at least 18 years old. </li><li class="">functionally blind or have used tactile graphics/models </li></ul><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Location: </div><div class="">111 8th Ave, New York, NY 10011 </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Duration and Time: The duration is approximately 1 Hour.
