I saw the announcement below on another mailing list:
Hello,
(If you prefer an explanation in French, please scroll down.)
As a part of the project NAVIG (http://navig.irit.fr/ <http://navig.irit.fr/>
), we invite you
to participate in a brief (20 minute) audio categorization and
evaluation test of sounds designed for a navigation aid for the
visually impaired. Your participation in this test will be very
helpful in our assessment of the sound syntax developed to provide
information along a trajectory. The test is not reserved to only those
people with visual impairments.
The purpose of the NAVIG project is to augment the autonomy of
individuals with visual impairments, allowing them to arrive at
desired destinations in a more reliable and secure way without
interfering with normal travel behavior. Guidance information along
the route will be provided with 3D sounds, using acoustically
transparent bone conduction headphones. A collection of "sound
palettes" have been created to allow users to differentiate between
types of information provided by the system (path, point of interest,
landmark, …) while giving the possibility of customizing the system to
each users aesthetic choices.
The results of this test on the sound palettes created will provide us
important feedback regarding syntactic and aesthetic choices. Your
feedback is very valuable and will enable us to provide the best
possible system.
The questionnaire has been tested with a variety of screen readers. If
you have any questions, if you encounter any accessibility problems to
the test, or if you have any comments, feel free to contact us.
All answers to this questionnaire will be treated anonymously and
confidentially. The results will be used exclusively for the NAVIG
project.
To avoid any disturbances from ambient noise or interruptions, it is
recommended that you situate yourself in a quiet room.
The test will be available until the end of October.
Please feel free to transmit this questionnaire to any lists or people
that you think might be interested.
The test is available in both French and English.
