>> Hi all!
>>  
>> We are a research team at University of Washington, exploring accessible household robots for blind and low-vision people. We are looking for VRTs to participate in a research study where they will be experiencing real robots and design accessible robot communication strategies.
>> 
>> Participants will be compensated $90, and the study will run for about 2 hours. The study will be held at the University of Washington on August 22nd, though let us know if alternative dates work better for you. It will be in a group setting with a few other blind and low-vision people, audio describers, vision rehabilitation therapists, sound designers, etc. Participants will get the chance to work with 1-2 robots during the study, and will propose how they want robots to communicate using verbal, audio, and vibration cues.

>> Please reply to this email (ujjaini at utexas.edu <mailto:ujjaini at utexas.edu>) if you're interested in participating. We will also appreciate it if you could share this information with your network! 
>> Thank you so much for your help!
