Accessibility Mapper
Team Name: Birdy Bird
AccessAbility Mapper is a WeChat mini program featuring interactive maps indicating wheelchair-accessible paths and tactile guiding routes. It addresses the lack of accessibility facility information for people with disabilities in Chinese cities. The program distinguishes streets and public transport. Users can contribute data, ensuring accuracy with incentives, and can use an evaluation system to rate facilities’ convenience and information quality. Designed for physical impairments, it enhances inclusivity. By empowering users to plan journeys, it increases participation in public spaces, fostering societal empathy. Overall, it aims to bridge China’s accessibility gap.
