Congrats to Zach et al. Here, we showed that blind participants can use surface coatings to identify playing cards, which in sighted people is signified by color. Funded by @NatEyeInstitute The heart the paper is analysis of wear with human touch . pubs.rsc.org/en/content/arti…

NOA! Our upcoming R21 will explore using materials chemistry + touch for accessible, no-power versions of at home test for people with low vision and blindness, whether for COVID or future diseases. In collab with teams of @laure_kayser @arthijayaraman ty @NatEyeInstitute
At-home coronavirus tests are inaccessible to blind people nyti.ms/3qlMzOx
