I was asked by the London Legacy Development Coproration to participate in a
WayFinding Student Research that they are supporting at the Olympic Park.
Although the explanatory details below say that you will be asked to walk
unguided – do not worry you will not be abandoned and will be safe at all time.
I actually think Research like this is important to increase awareness of the
difficulties totally blind people experience in Open Spaces.
If anybody would consider assisting Maryam with her research could you contact
her directly in the details below.
