Hello,

  We at the University of Nevada, Reno are conducting a research study
on when and how people who are blind or low vision create diagrams,
graphs and visual presentations , etc. for work, school, and leaisure.
The study looks at how people who ar blind are creatively solving this
problem with various technologies or through non-technological means
and what problems they might be encountering.
  This is a continuation of our previous online survey study.  This
study will help inform the creation of new iOS touchscreen and tablet
apps for blind and low vision people to build  diaagrams such as
street maps, organizational charts, and state charts used in software
  ngineering, computer architecture and computer theory.
     It is an interview study that would take about an hour over Skype
or on the phone, and you will be compensated for your time with a $20
Amazon gift card or $20 iTunes gift card.  If you are interested in
participating or know anyone
   who might be interested in participating, please email us at

Thanks,

Moderation!

While the study is definitely a worthy project, it's not a game, so I am moving this topic out of general discussio.

With our dreaming and singing, Ceaseless and sorrowless we! The glory about us clinging Of the glorious futures we see,
Our souls with high music ringing; O men! It must ever be
That we dwell in our dreaming and singing, A little apart from ye. (Arthur O'Shaughnessy 1873.)

Hello William,

I believe I participated in the online survey that was conducted a while ago,and I'm defenatly interested in this but are there any qualifications as such that you are looking for?
