It was a pleasure to meet Professor Youngki Lee and his students during their visit to our lab. We discussed our work in augmented reality and computer vision as well as their new approaches to edge computing and ML. Thank you for the visit!

The Project Sidewalk team led a session at the 2023 PacTrans-WSDOT Summer High School Transportation Camp talking about urban design, human mobility, and disability. Students also participated in interactive activities related to sidewalk accessibility and discussed their own experiences with inaccessible transit and urban design.

We had a fun visit from Josh Myers-Dean, a PhD student from the University of Colorado Boulder interested in computer vision and accessibility. Thank you Josh for visiting!  

It was so wonderful to finally meet our collaborator and Utah State University Professor Brent Chamberlain. Thank you Brent for stopping by with your family to Seattle. Such a joy to meet you and soak up some of your infectious energy and positivity. Professor Chamberlain is PI on our NSF Convergence grant and seemingly has infinite overlapping personal and professional interests with me! The picture below is from my "famous" green screen in my home teaching studio that shows up often in my Zoom calls (or does it?!).

Project Sidewalk collaborator Kie Fujii—who recently graduated from Hackensack Meridian School of Medicine in New Jersey—presented our work on Project Sidewalk in Oradell, NJ at the 2023 Consortium of Multiple Sclerosis Centers in Aurora, Colorado.

In Kie's words:

 The poster presentation was a huge hit! Several people were excited to learn about this project and wanted to implement this work in their towns. 

Thanks to Kie for presenting on our team's behalf and congrats and best wishes to her as she starts as a medical resident at UC San Diego.

We were honored and excited to take part in UW's Accessible Technology Research Showcase co-hosted by UW CREATE and HuskyADAPT. It was a truly wonderful and inspiring event—with a scale and scope rivaling many conference poster/demo sessions (and this was all UW work!).

Lab members Daniel Campos Zamora, Chu Li, and Katrina Ma all presented work. Congrats team!
