As a whole, it appeared that many schools were just too self-contained
to feel the need for such technology on their campuses. It was interesting to
note that some schools even refrained from using such signals because the
students on campus who would seemingly benefit the most from them did not
want them. Is this because they feel like this would make them stand out in a
negative way, or do they just not find such a technology useful? Further
research into this area will look at the presence of the signals on public
university campuses, the cost of installing such a signal on a university
campus, as well as talking to individuals with visual impairments about their
personal convictions regarding this technology.
