Dear All, This is the last call for participation on a 15 minute online web study into how people give route instructions in dialogue, run by the DiaSpace project at the University of Bremen. The goal is that our findings will help us develop more responsive wayfinding systems so that people who can't manually control their wheelchairs can interact via dialogue instead. Another application which we're working on is about helping elderly people find objects in their home by describing where they are in an understandable way. So it's all in a good cause! Please participate, and just as important, please forward this email on to your friends! We're really having a hard time getting enough participants who are native English speakers, as DiaSpace is based in Germany. The only conditions for participation are that participants be native or very fluent speakers of English and 18 years old or older, and not visually or cognitively disabled. Here's the link to the experiment: http://kognition.informatik.uni-bremen.de/diaspace/CR/ The experiment only takes 15 minutes, and if you're using Windows Vista, you'll need to run it on Firefox, as it won't work on Internet Explorer for Vista. (It works on Internet Explorer for other operating systems than Vista though.) Thanks very much for your help, and please feel free to send any questions about this experiment or research to: Dr Kavita Thomas [log in to unmask] the DiaSpace project: www.diaspace.org University of Bremen ________________End of message________________ This Disability-Research Discussion list is managed by the Centre for Disability Studies at the University of Leeds (www.leeds.ac.uk/disability-studies).
