I'm delighted to announce a new $750k NSF grant entitled Automating Transportation Affordances for People Living with Disabilities Using a Machine Learning Approach with Professors Brent Chamberlain, Xiajun Qi, Ziqi Song, and Keith Christensen from the Utah State University.
This work builds on Project Sidewalk but expands the focus beyond sidewalks to accessible transportation infrastructure in general!
We design, build, and evaluate new interactive tools and techniques to address pressing societal challenges. Makeability refers both to how our technological innovations make new abilities possible for humans as well as our educational mission to help students gain new abilities as they learn and grow through research, invention, and human-centered design.
