Dr Tony Stockman has over 30 years of experience with Assistive Technology as a user, developer and evaluator of new assistive products. He has a history of active involvement in projects to support visually impaired musicians and more generally to improve accessibility for people with visual impairments. He has over 100 peer refereed publications in Human-Computer Interaction and Assistive Technology. As part of the 1 million pounds + EPSRC-funded Design Patterns for Inclusive Collaboration (DEPIC) project, he was involved in the development of the Accessible Peak Meter and the Haptic Wave systems.

A paper describing part of these technologies won the best paper award at the ICAD 2015 conference. 

Prior to this, the EPSRC-funded Collaborative, Cross-Modal Interfaces project included the development of a unique tool to support the creation and joint editing of diagrams by sighted and visually impaired people.
