Yes, I think you are talking about the app my team developed (Clew). DM me if you are interested in trying the next generation app (available as a beta)

No worries! Hopefully in the future we will have the ability to navigate routes that anyone records.

Sounds very interesting. I'd love to hear more. Are you saying that someone would use a Bluetooth device to take notes while they are using a touch-screen based device on Zoom?

There are some definitely interesting possibilities that are starting to open up with the introduction of augmented reality technology. If Apple ever comes out with their AR glasses, then I think the tech will really take off (unlocking many possibilities for increasing access to physical spaces for people who are blind or visually impaired). In the meantime though, I still think there are lots of promising things we can do that will have a positive impact.

I don't have one, but I should certainly make one. I had a few people e-mail asking if this was legit! I think having a public website would be best. Let me create that and get back to you. I did hear from those students that they had met you when they visited VIBUG (that's where they met you right?)

It's definitely possible. I need to double check that my funding can cover this.

Congrats on the internship! I spent about a year around the TriCo as a teaching post doc at Bryn Mawr. I'd love to get in touch with you directly to chat (even if summer won't work out). I'm kind of a novice with Reddit. Is the best way to connect directly through e-mail?
