Congratulations to CS PhD student Lee Stearns for passing his PhD proposal today entitled "HandSight: A Touch-Based Wearable System to Increase Information Accessibility for People with Visual Impairments." This is exciting and important work that has recently received media attention from New Scientist, PC Magazine, and other venues. We look forward to seeing the proposed work come to fruition!

We design, build, and evaluate new interactive tools and techniques to address pressing societal challenges. Makeability refers both to how our technological innovations make new abilities possible for humans as well as our educational mission to help students gain new abilities as they learn and grow through research, invention, and human-centered design.
