In this paper, we present the issues to be addressed and the practical solutions to these issues in a mobile application framework for reading and displaying musical scores enhanced to assist the visually impaired in reading and perform the pieces. This framework, currently operating on MusicXML input files, provides the structures and methods for developers to adapt for other music encoding file formats. It also provides the flexible user-settable colors and enlargement parameters to meet the needs of users with various visual impairments. The development challenges fall into three categories: Variable visual impairment driven requirements; Musical notation complexity, and screen realestate limitations of a 10-inch tablet. The framework's practical solutions to each of these challenges are presented and contrasted with traditional solutions and competing solutions.

Rogers joined the university in October, 2008 bringing with him 35 years of industrial experience. His career includes senior leadership roles in engineering, sales, and manufacturing in robotics, electronics, sensors, and controls industries. Throughout his career, Rogers has developed products using an innovative process consisting of multidisciplinary teams focused on understanding customer needs and converting them to commercially viable products and services. He brings this experience to the university where he leads the effort in developing company-sponsored, product-oriented Capstone design programs. As part of the mission of the Engineering Education Innovation Center (EEIC), Rogers has co-led the development of an ABET approved curriculum for a year-long Capstone experience. With a focus on providing students with a broader experience base, the multidisciplinary program applies teams of engineers, business, design, and other students to work with Ohio companies to help them be more competitive. Teams apply a company's core competencies to help develop new products and markets. This experiential learning emphasizes real-world problem solving, professional communication and ethics, teamwork, and implementation of a formalized design process. Additionally, Rogers has created the Social Innovation and Commercialization initiative by collaborating with business, engineering, and design colleges. Partnering with local non-profit organizations, teams define unmet problems working with people with various disabilities-problems that can be solved with an innovative product. The educational goal is to provide experiential learning with a social outreach. The social goal is to produce income to help non-profit partners become self-sustaining while improving the independence of people with disabilities. Rogers earned his PhD at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst focused on mechanical engineering and manufacturing. He has presented a number of industrial conference papers and holds several patents. He served as co-chair of the organizing committee for the 2012 Capstone Design Conference and is a member of the CDHub web development team.
