Context Sensing & Assistive Technology Study - Chicago

Context Sensing & Assistive Technology Study - Chicago

The Laboratory for Understanding Collaborative Technology at Northwestern University is working on a project to build and evaluate new original technologies for users with disabilities. They are currently recruiting subjects with a variety of impairments (cognitive, sensory or motor) from the Chicago area.

What is ATMac?

ATMac covers all Apple products with a slant towards disability. We have an interest in users with a disability, adaptive and assistive technology, and making accessible programs and content. We aim to cover all Apple products including all Mac OS X computers - the iMac, MacBook, Mac Mini, Mac Pro, and older models; the iPod range; the iPhone and iPod Touch; and other products such as the Apple TV and Apple Remote Control. As well as people with a disability and assistive technology users, our audience includes teachers and educators, supporters such as parents and families of AT users, content producers, and application developers.
