1wHi Alexander Rehn - love the challenge! On the topic: have a look at AYES - a start-up team on a mission of making daily life accessible for blind and visually impaired people, through the comfort of their own phones. Recently they took home Apple's Inclusive Design Award for 2024 with their app OKO. Within 2 years time they have been able to safely support more than 3.000.000 street crossings!👨🦯 Worth having a chat with the team: Willem - Vincent - Michael !
