Brian Negus
I’m a retired IT manager with a keen interest in photography. I’m registered blind and have enough sight to get around safely (most of the time) and to use my camera’s LCD screen with 12 times magnifying spectacles and my computer with Zoomtext. I’m chairman of our local society of blind people, Vista.

Hi, I am a computer science PhD student at the University of Washington. My research is on mobile device and camera interaction for blind and low-vision people. My goal is to find a usable way for blind people to use the camera on mainstream cell phones to gather certain information about their environment.
I have set up a repository for blind people to submit photos they have taken. You can go here to answer a few questions and submit any photos: http://abstract.cs.washington.edu/~cjayant/cameraRepos/upload_file.php. I am interested in what issues blind people have while taking photos, and excited to see some of the results as I move forward in my research.
If you have not already completed my camera survey sent out a few months back, you can check it out here: http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=dGQ4aXZHcmZvaXBjN1Q3VUF3anNNUEE6MA
This should only take a few minutes to complete. All survey results and photos are anonymous and not tied to your identity.
If you have any questions, any comments on the form’s accessibility, or if you are interested in being a part of paid future interviews and studies, please send me an email! cjayant@cs.washington.edu
Please forward to any relevant mailing lists.
Thank you!
