Hi everyone!

I’m Tingying He, a researcher at the University of Utah.

We’d really love to learn from your experience and perspective!

What you will do:

  • We will mail you a 3D-printed tactile Braille chart to explore during the interview.
  • You will join one Zoom interview. The session is fully remote and lasts about 1.5–2 hours.

Who we’re looking for (required):

  • At least 18 years old
  • Legally blind
  • Uses a screen reader
  • Reads Braille
  • Has a U.S. mailing address
  • Currently working or enrolled in school at least part-time

I’m also happy to answer any questions. And if you know someone who might be a good fit, feel free to share this invitation. Thanks so much!
