🌐 Excited to share the journey of creating FindSpot, an innovative solution born out of empathy for individuals with accessibility needs in indoor spaces. Our team developed a React Native application that offers clear and accessible indoor navigation, addressing a significant gap in current solutions.
🚀 What FindSpot Does: Enables quick navigation within the E7 building, providing a simple interface for users to select a room and find the shortest obstacle-free path using their phone's location.
🔧 How We Built It: Front-end developed in React Native, while Python and relevant libraries were employed for the routing algorithm. Overcoming challenges in integrating the algorithm with the React Native application was a key accomplishment.
🤔 Challenges Faced and Lessons Learned: Routing posed a significant challenge, prompting us to learn the importance of meticulous planning. Despite the hurdles, we're proud of successfully implementing the routing algorithm and overcoming React Native's nuances.
🏆 Accomplishments: The implementation of the routing algorithm stands out as a major achievement, demonstrating our ability to balance GUI and functionality. Overcoming React Native's challenges further showcases our team's resilience and problem-solving skills.
