Innovators Ep. 4: With Darren DeFrain

<p>Our #ShockTalk Podcast guest Darren DeFrain — associate professor of English at Wichita State and the author of numerous short stories, essays, and screenplays, as well as the story collection Inside &amp; Out (MSR Press) and the cult novel The Salt Palace (New Issues Press) — talks R&amp;D about an app he is co-developing for visually impaired people. The app, called Vizling, enhances the experience of reading comic books and graphic novels. Awarded $100,000 from the National Endowment for the Humanities to continue research on the app, DeFrain hatched the idea for Vizling with a former graduate student of his, Aaron Rodriguez, who’s now a Ph.D. student at Florida State.</p> <p>A partnership between the WSU Alumni Association and Office of Tech Transfer &amp; Commercialization</p> <p>https://www.shockeralumni.org/s/1817/home.aspx?sid=1817&amp;gid=2</p> <p>https://www.wichita.edu/research/ttc/</p> <p>Vizling online:</p> <p>http://vizling.org/</p> <p>https://twitter.com/vizling</p> <p><br></p> <p><br></p>
