Dear all,
Please see information below about some very interesting user testing that will
take place here at NCBI on Tuesday 14th August.
As someone who has previously tried out the technology I can highly recommend
it!
Information follows and please, if you are interested, contact Philip directly.
******************************
A team of researchers at Queens University Belfast are currently developing a
web browser which enables blind people to access the Internet in a new way.
Speech, audio (short sounds) and force-feedback (vibrations and
textures) have been combined to enable Web users to gain awareness of the
location of images and links on a web page, and to assist in the navigation
process. We would be interested in finding out if there would be any
volunteers who would be interested in trying out the web browser. Ideally, we
are looking for blind or visually impaired people, who normally use a screen
reader or Braille output device to access a computer or the Web. Further
details of the project are available on http://www.web4blind.org If you would
be interested in taking part, please email p.strain@xxxxxxxxx with your contact
details.
The tests are scheduled to take place at the NCBI's Centre for Inclusive
Technology (CFIT) lab, on Whitworth Road, on Tuesday 14th August all day.
Each test will take approximately 60 minutes. Travel expenses will be met and
in addition, each participant will receive a €15 gift voucher for taking part.
Regards,
Philip Strain.
