Title: The GT Accessible Aquarium Project
Abstract:
The goal of the GT Accessible Aquarium Project is to make dynamic exhibits such as those at museums, science centers, zoos and aquaria more engaging and accessible for visitors with vision impairments by providing real-time interpretations of the exhibits using innovative tracking, music, narrations, and adaptive sonification. It is an interdisciplinary collaboration between GT researchers, bringing together the fields of Psychology, Computing, Music, and Assistive Technology.
This presentation is free and open to all! No pre-registration is needed.
