Hi Processing Community! We are currently conducting a research study on the **usability of shader programming** in the PDE (Processing Development Environment). The study would be conducted remotely and will involve filling a pre-survey, implementing a small coding task in the PDE using your personal computer and sharing your experience by filling a post-survey. If you are interested in participating in the study, please sign up using the link below.

[https://forms.gle/cfcFESknw45mAXET9](https://forms.gle/cfcFESknw45mAXET9)

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me **Izza Tariq** at itariq@purdue.edu, or the principal investigator of this study, **Esteban Garcia Bravo** at garcia0@purdue.edu. We appreciate your assistance!

Good luck with your study!

You may also want to ping or contact some of the people who have engaged in shader programming discussions here in the past, as that is a relatively small community.

Thank you @jeremydouglass for sharing the links to that community! I’ll definitely reach out to those people as well.

Sorry, those are links to old threads in _this_ community – I just meant that the number of shader programmers who are active on this forum is comparatively small, so reaching out to them individually might make sense.

No issue, I had that in mind, I will reach out to them individually. The Processing Foundation also agreed to help us share this on twitter, Processing’s Instagram and Facebook page so hoping to reach out to more users!
