We are seeking volunteers to test a hand-gesture-based museum experience (a "Touchless Touchscreen") for an engineering capstone design (IPPD) project. 
We are looking for people of all backgrounds to test the intuitiveness and accuracy of this touch-free system. Participants will be asked to participate in:
  • A single 20-minute appointment at the Harn Museum of Art
  • A follow-up questionnaire

Please confirm that you have read and agree to the following acknowledgments:
  • Participation includes a 20-minute appointment in-person at the Harn Museum of Art.
  • During testing, our student team will observe your interactions with the system but you will not be recorded without your consent. If you are willing to allow us to record you for internal research purposes, we will have a video release form available.
  • Participation includes filling out a questionnaire after testing.
  • Masks are required for in-person appointments. Social distancing will be observed. Appointments can be arranged when the Museum is closed to the public to ensure minimal interaction with other people.
  • There is no compensation for participating. However, your participation will be a valuable addition to our research and findings will help to improve accessibility at the Harn Museum of Art.

The following question is optional. Why are we asking? Read below for more detail.

  • People with dark skin tones
  • People with chronic fatigue and/or limited mobility
  • People with upper-limb differences
  • Wheelchair users
