This project is focused on learning about how people who are deaf or hard of hearing experience sounds in the home and creating smarthome-based sound awareness systems for people who are DHH. This is an ongoing project at the Makeability Lab.

I was briefly involved in this project in August 2018, where I helped run a Wizard of Oz user study to evaluate the experiences and perceptions of DHH participants with some preliminary mockups of an in-home sound awareness system.

I also was a co-author for our group’s CHI2019 publication:
