Funded Activity Summary
Navigating urban spaces. This project aims to study how disabled people use smartphones to navigate the urban environment. Smartphones could improve urban accessibility and social participation for people with impairments. The project will study how this group uses smartphones to mitigate the effects of their impairments and compensate for inaccessibility in urban spaces. The study is expected to comprehensively map mobile phone use in urban space to inform design of the urban space, and the development of apps as disabled people integrate with these spaces. This project intends to address wider problems related to the social participation of people with disability.Funded Activity Details
