Accessible Technologies

Accessible technologies are tools and designs that make it easier for people of all abilities to learn, work, and engage with the world.

  • Anhong Guo develops Personal Assistive Technology — a new class of assistive systems that deeply adapts to users’ individual abilities, physical contexts, and intents, to deliver just the right information, in the right modality, at the right time. Anhong's featured technologies address accessibility for blind and visually impaired (BVI) and motor-impaired users.
  • Dhruv Jain directs the Soundability Lab whose mission is to redefine hearing as a programmable, editable, and hyperpersonal experience—not a fixed sense, but a customizable interface between humans and their world—much like how web design lets us program, rearrange, and personalize visual elements. Dhruv's featured technologies address sound personalization and accessibility.
