Inspiration
I am inspired by the first hand experience of how hard it is to find accessible public facilities on wheelchair I have from both my grandparents that are restricted to their wheelchairs.
What it does
It helps the user find all the wheelchair accessible bathrooms near them on a map by simply searching up a location no matter how specific such as country, state, city or restaurant. It also shows extra information on them like open hours, city, state, name(that automatically searches it up for extra information on google when clicked) and street (that automatically searches it up on google maps when clicked). It also runs very smoothly and avoids problems as it only loads locations in the frame and after one second of not scrolling. It can run on both android and pc. On android it automatically locates the user to their gps location.
How we built it
By kivy, kivy mapview widget and python.
Challenges we ran into
Importing the large database of information for all the locations and their additional information.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
The search function that can help the user to locate themselves to any location they want no matter how big or small.
What we learned
New packages, technologies and widgets.
What's next for Wheel Accessible
Expand to even more public facilities that are commonly not accessible by wheelchairs.
