Join BVA’s VetTech team on Wednesday, February 7, at 2:00pm Eastern Time, for our Weekly Wednesday Webinar as we welcome Dr. Paul Ruvolo, Associate Professor of Computer Science at Olin College of Engineering and the developer of Clew, an indoor path tracing navigation app. Dr. Paul Ruvolo’s work focuses on leveraging smartphone technology to create assistive technology for the blind. 

Professor Ruvolo and his student research group developed the free app, which allows people to navigate a route with haptic and auditory feedback. The webinar will focus on how Clew retraces one’s path so that an individual can independently return to any desired location. 

This week’s VetTech Talk, originally scheduled for Thursday, February 8, will not be held.
