[NFBCS] Request to test diagrams

[Steve Jacobson]

All,

I tried John Gardner's system and think this project is well worth our help.  Please help out by participating.  It combines tactile graphics with the ability to use a touch input device to provide information about what is being felt on the diagram.  Also, I tried it on a Windows computer with a touch screen which eliminates the need to have a separate touchpad device and it worked pretty well.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson

Subject: [NFBCS] Request to test diagrams

Volker Sorge and I request assistance of a few of you during convention to test accessible electric circuit and organic molecular diagrams. These were automatically converted from molecular codes or print images to audio and audio-tactile forms. This work was done as a NIH Phase I SBIR grant, and we need feedback as part of our Phase II application. If we get the Phase II grant, we intend to develop an application that will automatically convert a wide variety of diagrams including flow charts, bar and pie charts, and x-y line graphs.

I hope to have sessions during lunch break with 2 to 4 testers in each. You will use an IVEO touchpad or touch-screen computer to feel and hear a number of diagrams and then fill out a short questionnaire. This should take about an hour, and I will provide lunch as thanks.

Please reply directly to me (john.gardner at viewplus.com<mailto:john.gardner at viewplus.com>) for more information or to arrange time and place.
