Majors & Degrees

AdapT Lab

Research in Adaptive Technologies (AdapT)

The mission of the AdapT Lab is to use technology to navigate and structure environments to achieve “barrier-free-living.”  The AdapT Lab aims to be a resource for the disabilities community for using technology to remove barriers to full participation in work, in play, and everything in between.

Current projects are focused on using proximity beacons to provide relevant information for one’s immediate surroundings and to streamline accessible technologies, such as elevator calls and automatic door openers. Past projects include an app that senses communication beacons to provide guidance information and a device for tapping power from powered wheelchairs for other purposes.
