Hi everyone, I’m Michele Burton, a PhD student at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. I am currently looking for several participants for 2 studies related to indoor and outdoor navigation techniques of people with vision impairments to help inform the design of new navigation aid technology. Specifically I am looking for people with vision impairments who cannot navigate using vision and, therefore, use a navigation aid.
Study #1: Design Team I will be forming a long-term design team who will participate in monthly focus groups and contribute relevant information on a regular basis using a diary study method. Participants will meet either in-person in the local Washington, DC Metro area or remotely via telephone or service such as Skype. The “diary” entries will consist of notes taken in everyday activities and occasional online surveys. This is a 6-month commitment and participants will earn up to $600. Study #2: One-on-One Interview This is simply a 1-hour interview pertaining to navigation. This can be in-person or over the phone and participants will be compensated $20. Interested parties are asked to email me at the address below to set up a time when I can speak with you briefly to see if you are eligible to participate. Thanks, Michele [email protected] -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.
