Amy Bower (WHOI) and Jon Bellona (UO) invite you to participate in a survey for “Accessible Oceans“, a project focused on designing effective auditory displays to enhance the perception and understanding of ocean data for visitors to museums, aquariums and science centers, including those who are blind or have low vision. Your feedback is crucial in evaluating the effectiveness of their auditory display prototypes.

 
In this survey, you will listen to a series of auditory displays featuring data sonification, narration, and music. The survey will take approximately 15 minutes to complete. Please note that this is not a test of your abilities; rather, it is an opportunity for you to contribute to the advancement of inclusive learning experiences for everyone.

You can participate in this study if you are 12 years old or older, understand English, and are physically located in the US. To participate, simply click on this survey link. Headphones are recommended for the best listening experience. The survey will be closed on June 1 2024.
