Inspiration

Wanting to help the greater good and assist marginalized individuals.

What it does

Assists the visually impaired.

How I built it

Created a web app optimized for mobile devices.

Challenges I ran into

Integrating a videoconferencing API and a backend into our web app.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

We were able to bring together a minimum viable product of substance that demos the functionality we were trying to target in record time.

What I learned

Planning and delegation makes large projects so much simpler to tackle and with the right tools, helping a multitude of people is a lot easier than it seems.

What's next for Visual Integrated Assistant

Judgement at shellbacks and hopefully securing some sort of investment to continue development and expand the app's functionality.
