Research Opportunity: Wayfinding Technology Interview Study

The Grainger College of Engineering and the College of Applied Health Sciences at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign is seeking research participants for an IRB-Approved (IRB #21990) research study. This research study is focused on understanding the needs of those with a vision impairment when navigating through spaces. Specifically, we are interested in assistive technology aids.  



Requirements to participate in this study include:   

  *   Able to Zoom call or phone call  
  *   Be 18 years or older 
  *   Have ‘severe’ vision loss (even with correction) 
  *   20/200 to 20/400 visual acuity  



Participants will be asked to meet, via Zoom or phone, and work with a researcher for about 1 to 1.5 hours. During this time, the participants will answer a few questionnaires and engage in an interview. Participants will be compensated $25 for completing the study.  If you are interested in participating and would like more information, please send an email to mbayles2 at illinois.edu<mailto:mbayles2 at illinois.edu> or you can call the researcher, Megan Bayles, at (217) 265-0248.
