Brief:
In this project, I solved the navigation challenges faced by individuals with disabilities that often lack a clear path to their final destination. To address this issue, I envisioned and developed a versatile navigation application specifically designed for individuals with disabilities.
Goals:
1. Develop an intuitive and accessible navigation app that prioritizes user-friendliness, specifically tailored to the requirements of individuals with disabilities.
2. Implement a user profile feature that enables the storage of information regarding the user's disabilities and abilities.
3. Conceptualize and design a navigation app to that highlights acccessiblity points for users.

Research:
I undertook a survey to pinpoint the navigation difficulties encountered by people from ages 18 - 70 +.
The objective was to understand the efficacy of current tools and collect suggestions for enhancement.
Question 1: Do you or anyone you know, have difficulty traveling due to a disability? If yes, how would you rate the difficulty of traveling due to a disability?
Question 3: What features do you think would be helpful for people with disabilities?
Question 5: Do you think there should be specific categories of locations (e.g., handicapped parking spots, ramps, elevators)?

Background:
My grandmother and I visited a restaurant together, but she faces difficulty walking. Although we parked in the handicapped space, the restaurant lacked a ramp or elevator.
Consequently, I had to find parking on the opposite side of the block, forcing us to enter the restaurant from a different side. This inevitability caused her to walk more, just so she had elevator access. I have no idea what she would've done alone.
Question 2: To what age group does individual with disabilities belong?
Question 4: How do you rate the navigation tools that exist for people with disabilities?
Question 6: How important is the ability to customize the app's interface or settings to meet the individuals specific needs? Are there specific customization options you would like to see?
