The Accessible Aquarium Project at Georgia Tech is studying how to improve exhibit experiences at zoos and aquariums through the use of spoken information and music. They are recruiting partner groups, one person with an acquired vision loss and a person familiar to him or her such as a friend or family member who does not have vision loss.
