TransitScreen Usability Focus Group

Description

The City of Cambridge and transportation software startup TransitScreen are looking for volunteers to assist with pilot testing of a new technology for making the City’s public transportation information accessible to people who are blind or have low vision. This technology allows for local transit information from a digital display to be transferred to personal phones so that accessibility features like VoiceOver/TalkBack can be used to read it.

We are looking for a group of for people who are blind or have low vision and who own smartphones and are familiar with their accessibility features. Testing will take place in the Cambridge Public Library and will include a brief survey, configuration of the technology, use of the technology, and the opportunity to provide feedback. We expect testing will take about an hour, and light snacks will be provided.
