Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU): Accessibility in AR

Over fourteen million people in the United States of America have some form of vision disability in which vision cannot be corrected with glasses alone. Many people within this population are unable to use virtual and augmented head-mounted displays (HMDs), like the Oculus Quest and Microsoft HoloLens, due to their inaccessible designs. Worse yet, best practices for accessibility in these displays are still a nascent area of research.

In this project, an undergraduate researcher will design and evaluate visual techniques to improve spatial perception for individuals with vision disabilities. They will design visualizations; they will develop applications in C# with Unity, a popular game engine; and they will conduct a behavioral evaluation to assess their visualizations. While working alongside graduate students and university professors, the student will become familiar with fundamental perception research in AR as well as research on accessible design.

Our objective is to build the student’s confidence in their abilities to conduct meaningful research and to develop computer software applications.
