The idea for this project came from a simple need to understand how people suffering from various forms of visual impairment experience the things that we take for granted.
The cinema is a crucial part of our lives and often how we get together as friends after a long while of not being in touch.

UI/UX
ROLE
A literature review was conducted which served as secondary research which allowed me to gain valuable insights before moving ahead.
While the data gained through secondary research was substantial, a lot of the analytics within those papers were outdated at time of research and developing an application required up-to-date insights.
For this reason, I collaborated with Vision-Aid India in order to circulate my survey in order to reach as many people as possible within the limited time-frame available.
the challenge
After primary and secondary research, I came to the realization that while technology might exist which allows the visually impaired to experience the theatres, a vast majority will never visit such locations for multiple reasons.
The goal was to create a platform which allowed both the staff as well as the customer to be aware of one another which would make the process of visiting the theatres and getting help when needed much more easier.
CONCLUSION
This project was my first experience when it came to developing an application which was inclusive towards the visually impaired and made me think about my approach going into it.
While I am happy with how the application turned out, there are many more features which I could have explored and added onto it. Hoping to expand this project in the future.
