Visio helps visually impaired people understand and feel what their friends are sharing with the world! Made during Hack in the north 2017.
Visually impaired people don't have the freedom to listen and understand the news around them that the world is sharing.
Currently, visually impaired people have to depend on news channels which doesn't give them freedom of choice. We want to give them this freedom by choosing what they want to listen and understanding the context behind it.
We use Artificial Intelligence, image and sentiment analysis and text-to-speech technology to analyse what's going around the world and give this understanding to our user in the easiest possible way.
As we wanted to make the lives simpler for visually impaired people, we trusted on the most basic and elegant form of input for them, which is braille.
The simplest solution is the most elegant one!
Our user will use their braille keyboard to access our website which will instantly give back a solid understanding of what's going around the world. As we are accessing the latest feed from twitter, the user has the freedom to choose what they want to listen to and what they don't.
We aim to make the world more open and connected and that goes for everyone

The project uses node.js as the backend and embedded javascript as the view engine along with Twitter's REST API for data fetches.

We plan to extend our product to consume more sources of information, provide context analysis on videos and give more options to the end user to provide them more freedom and convenience.
