Hello again everyone. Thank you for your participation in our previous study!
I am a Ph.D. student at Cornell Tech's Enhancing Ability Lab (NYC).
Our research groups at Cornell and the Michigan Technological University are interested in understanding Blind people’s experience with frontal facing camera interactions (Selfie-taking and video-recording) and their use in social media.
We also want to learn what are the strategies that blind people use to deal with challenges associated with features in social media apps that require them to take selfies or record themselves: things like using face filters for photos (Augmented Reality), video-calling, and live streaming.
We will be conducting a round of interviews starting the 20th of October (this week) until the first week of November. The interview will be conducted through online video conference calls in Zoom, expect it to take no longer than 1 hour. You must have your own smartphone. We also require you to have some experience with taking photos and using social media.
