Video Games for Blind Players

Our tools help blind players perceive virtual spaces. They are "building blocks" for making existing video games blind-friendly.

Wearable Cameras for Blind Navigation

We create wearable camera systems for making indoor navigation possible for people who are blind.

Social Awareness and Experience Sharing

We build and study systems that help people feel together even when they are apart.
