Paid research studies testing new assistive technologies at University of Michigan

We are a team of accessibility researchers from the University of Michigan working to develop new applications for blind people to access visual information. We are conducting two paid, in-person research studies and are looking for blind participants! Both studies will take about 2 hours each, take place in the Beyster building on UMich North Campus (2260 Hayward St, Ann Arbor, MI 48109), and be scheduled sometime in March.

Study 1: Customizing AI assistive technology. In this study, we are looking for participants to test an application that allows users to customize AI assistive technology to filter visual information.

Study 2: Sound-aware visual descriptions. In this study, we are looking for participants to test an application that considers sound context to provide real-world descriptions, so the spoken descriptions will not be overshadowed by noisy environments or conversations.

If you are interested in participating, please fill out this quick (5 minute) screening survey. The purpose of the screening is to verify eligibility for the research study. We will reach out to you after you complete the survey to provide more details about the studies and schedule times.

If you are selected to take part in the studies, you will be compensated $25 per hour for your time (as an Amazon gift card or physical check). Transportation costs will also be reimbursed to a limit. Feel free to email anhong@umich.edu if you have any questions.
