Project poster

For people with visual impairments, navigating the Seattle public transportation system without assistance is challenging due to the reliance on visual cues. With the help of Where-able, people with visual impairments are able to input their bus number and route so that the wearable vibrates when the bus is approaching, signaling the arrival of the bus. Our app and hardware enables users with visual impairments to be better supported when getting around the city of Seattle by eliminating one of the struggles of the public transportation system.
