“Who’s There?”: Designing Sensor-Aided Wearable Assistive Technology for the Visually-Impaired

This project employs a user-centered design approach and think-aloud protocol to gain insight into the user’s cognitive processes, comfort level and feelings while they are interacting with the device and performing various structured social interaction tasks, and uses standard psychological instruments to measure changes in sociability, independence and technological comfort as the users use the device.
