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 Richard Ladner at ladner [at] cs [dot] washington[dot] edu.
First meeting is on September 26th.
The SLN for this seminar is 12065. 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 Richard Ladner (above) to obtain the code.
