Brandon Biggs: Currently, there are no maps that you can view online that are not visual. This basically means that there are about 285 million people in the world who cannot use the existing maps that you get from Google Maps or Open Street Map. So I built a viewer that could take the information behind the Google Map widget that is seen visually and presented that information in audio. Being somebody with a visual impairment means that I understand the problem that I’m wanting to solve for me specifically. I was able to interview people and ask people to build their own designs. I was able to understand what they were going through and was able to get them to design a solution that would work for them. The feedback that I got from those users will be used in my next prototypes.
