I’d like to participate. Sent from Mail for Windows From: Gesu India Dear all, I hope you're having a good day. My name is Gesu India, a PhD student at Swansea University, UK interested in designing assistive technologies for people with sight impairments. Right now, I'm seeking participants for my research study. Imagine having an application that can find things for you, as and when needed. Now imagine something better - such an application customized to YOUR needs. You’re looking for your coffee mug that someone moved in the kitchen, or a favorite shirt to wear to the office - you can customize an object-recogniser to find it all! In our research study, you will customize our object-recogniser application, called Find My Things, by “teaching” it to recognise and find things that matter to you. Like, how one would teach a sighted child about plants by showing them examples of plants, you will “teach” Find My Things your chosen objects by recording 8 short videos (5-6 seconds each) of it, for a total ten objects of your choice. It's a simple process, and our app guides you through it. Whether it's your glasses, wallet, or favorite coffee mug, you have endless possibilities to make Find My Things recognize what matters to you. So, how are you helping your community with this? Well, the recorded videos of your objects will be part of a larger dataset containing videos contributed by hundreds of other people with sight impairments, like you, coming from different parts of the world. This dataset will become the central “knowledge base” for apps like Find My Things to learn about objects like yours. Before adding the recorded videos of your objects to this dataset, we will ensure its quality and your privacy protection. We expect that recording videos for ten of your personal items will take approximately 1.5 hours of your time, however you will have access to our app for seven days for this study. At the end of this study, we would also like to know your feedback on the study via a one-to-one audio call lasting for approximately 45 mins. Once the study successfully completes, you will be compensated INR 350 for your time and efforts. We're looking for participants who are above 18 years old, legally blind or visually impaired, have no other disabilities affecting participation, have internet access, and have been regular Android smartphone users (with TalkBack) for at least six months. Please note, you can use our app in Hindi or English, as per your preference. If you are interested to embark on this research journey with us and hundreds of people with sight impairments all over the world, please reply to this email only to me, or reach out at g.india.2132...@swansea.ac.uk. Feel free to share this message with your friends and contacts who meet the participant criteria. Join us in developing a better AI for your community! Thank you for your time and we are excitedly looking forward to hearing from you.
