We are excited to receive UW Reality Lab funding to support our research proposal entitled Moving Beyond Speech Transcription: Designing New Sound Feedback Visualizations for Deaf and Hard of Hearing Users. This proposal was led by PhD student Dhruv Jain with co-PIs Froehlich and Findlater.
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.
