David Ross (Atlanta VA Medical Center) Answers Questions from the Audience
Up to Online Forum
Questions regarding his presentation on his original research "Cell Phone Accessibility Evaluation Study for Persons with Visual Impairments" presented on the panel "Human Factors: the end-user experience"
Q:“Have you considered that your proposed prototype should be track-able and locate-able in case of emergency and that there should be a national monitoring and response center?"
A: "Yes, for multiple reasons we desire our prototype to be track-able and locate-able. We are currently disappointed with the ability of GPS to provide reliable and accurate "track-ability" in the Atlanta Area, especially in the summer when the air is laden with humidity and/or heavily laden clouds are overhead, not to mention thunderstorm and conditions of heavy rainfall that are tantamount to an emergency for persons who are blind. In fact, I would like to ask anyone who has been testing tracking systems under such conditions to please let me know your results. I can be reached via email at ross0128@bellsouth.net"
Q: “How can we get a list of all the phones tested by the VA?”
A: "Please email me at: ross0128@bellsouth.net. I will gladly send you our current list of phones that have been/are being evaluated."
