Hey everyone!
I'm a college student at Olin College working on an AR app to enhance the process of applying makeup for people who are blind/visually impaired. But in order for me to make an effective and helpful app, I need to understand the perspective of people who are blind.
If anyone is interested, I’d love to find someone to meet with regularly. You’d need an iPhone 10 or higher, and should have experience doing makeup as a blind individual. The idea is that you’d be a co-designer for the app, so you’d be continuously trying out the app and giving me feedback as I iterate on it. I’d meet with you on Zoom a couple times per week (for 1-5 hrs total) to get to know you, your makeup journey, and your feedback.
You’d be super helpful in providing me with your perspective so I can know what would most benefit you in your makeup experiences. Because of that, I’m giving a $200 honorarium in the form of a gift card to a store of your choice (it’ll be Amazon if you don’t specify)!
Thanks for reading :)

Hey Daniel,
There aren't any gender restrictions to being a codesigner of the app! As long as you have experience wearing makeup as a blind individual then we'd love to have you! Do you want to send me an email/contact info that would be good to contact you with?
I'm in
Hope it is not to late.
It will be incredible if it in fact works.
What do I have to do to help?
Super Interested
