Dear All,
Please ignore this mail if you've already participated; and if you haven't,
now's your chance! We just need to get a few more native English speaking
participants to close this study, so we hope you'll give our web experiment
a try! Participants should only take this study once though, so if you've
already taken this 15 minute study, please don't take it again. But if you
pass it on to friends, that'd be great!
About the study:
The DiaSpace project at the University of Bremen is running a 15 minute
online web study into how people give route instructions in dialogue. 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:
