Inspiration

285 million people are estimated to be visually impaired worldwide, we saw this need gap in our society and would like to create something to improve people's life.

What it does

Blind Alert has three main functions so far.

  1. Detects temperature. If the user would like to touch objects in the world, but is afraid to touch something hot, the user can use our tool to test its environment first.

How I built it

We build the simple app interface using Ionic platform and worked with XDK from Intel.

Challenges I ran into

Unfortunately, although we were able to build each component, we were not able to combine everything together.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of
