We’re on scene of a massive police and fire presence near PSU at SW6/Montgomery. One woman here tells me three people were hit by a car, driver took off #KOIN6News

Great leadership by Jonathan Fink! Am glad to be a part of the Digital Cities Testbed Center team.

Thank you Microsoft and Michael Mattmiller for giving Portland State University's Digital City Testbed Center the grand tour of your headquarters and talking about possible projects and collaborations. Jonathan Fink (VPR) Martin Swobodzinski

Big thank you to TREC and NITC for their support!

Imagine you're visually impaired and own a smartphone. Having this powerful machine in your pocket might encourage you to venture to a new place on your own, but what are the limitations of this tech? New study from TREC at PSU Portland State Research Portland State University: nitc.trec.pdx.edu/news/electroni…

One app gets you to the bus stop. Another gets you on the bus. A third you can use to get around indoors. Research by Martin Swobodzinski Department of Geography and Amy Parker PSU College of Education found visually impaired travelers want integration, not proliferation of apps: trec.pdx.edu/news/electroni…

Mobile apps offer a range of services to aid in navigation for the blind, but new Portland State Research by Martin Swobodzinski Department of Geography & Amy Parker PSU College of Education shows that visually impaired travelers would prefer one single, integrated app that does everything: trec.pdx.edu/news/electroni…

Digital City Testbed Center member Martin Swobodzinski and Amy Parker study the needs of visually impaired travelers. Soon they will launch a new study that could lay the foundation for a single navigation app that offers seamless travel indoors and out for a range of users.

The #accessibility & #smartcities session will hear from Jonathan Fink Jonathan Fink (VPR), Murat Omay of Federal Transit Admn, Larry Skutchan American Printing House (APH) and Martin Swobodzinski Portland State University
