The successful applicant will explore sound as an expressive medium capable of conveying the emotional and subjective qualities of visual artworks, with particular attention to how these are experienced by people who are blind or have low vision (BLV). Expected Outcomes: The project should deliver a prototype that enhances accessibility in visual art to people who are blind or have low vision. Work plan: Define user requirements based on previous work, literature, and online information. Design and develop an accessible and interactive prototype that conveys alternative forms of perceivin Annuncio in inglese. Fonte: Euraxess (Commissione europea).
