We are recruiting participants to take part in a research study using a new mobile map application to help investigate different services in two neighbourhoods -- Halifax waterfront and downtown Dartmouth.

To participate you:
• need to be comfortable walking for two hours with stops
• need to have some experience using a Smartphone or a small screen device
• agree to be videotaped while performing the study

The study will be conducted in the waterfront area of Halifax and downtown area of Dartmouth (we will take the ferry across the harbour). The study will take about 3 hours to complete. The researcher will send you a pre-session questionnaire to help us tailor tasks to your background and a short survey where you will self rate your sense of direction. We will arrange a time to meet in one of the two neighborhoods, give consent to do the study, and then complete a set of tasks. Compensation is $30 and reimbursement for taking the ferry.

We have less than 8 spots available. If you are interested in participating, please contact Huiyuan Zhou (Huiyuan.Zhou@dal.ca).
