Computers are playing an ever more important role in assistive technology for a wide range of disabilities. In this seminar, we will explore the state of the art and current research in computer-based assistive technology for blindness, deafness, cognitive impairment, and other disabilities.
The seminar will include a mix of lectures, invited speakers, and discussions of recent research papers. These will include current research at UW on computer-based assistive technology, as well as guests from various organizations outside of academia. If you wish to present your work or experience, please contact Susumu Harada at harada [at] cs [dot] washington[dot] edu.
First meeting is on April 4th.
The SLN for this seminar is 11997. CSE graduate students who wish to attend and participate in the discussions may register for 1 credit.
No particular background is required. Non-computer science majors and undergraduates may (and are encouraged) to attend with permission of the instructors.
If you are from outside of the Computer Science department, you will need to obtain an add-code to register for the seminar. Please contact Susumu (above) to obtain the code.
Be sure to sign up for the mailing list (below) to be kept informed about any room/time changes.
Talks are generally 30-40 minutes followed by 10-20 mintues of discussion. In some cases students will read papers prior to a discussion.
All talks and discussions are in CSE 303 in the Paul Allen Center on Wednesdays at 9:30 - 10:20 am.
