The Visionary Project
We want to make the online world more accessible for everyone
People perceive the web differently. The user interface has to be customizable to meet the specific needs of users with different types and degrees of visual impairment. How? We will use a combination of technologies like HTML, CSS, and WebGL to process images, videos, and text allowing users to customize it in real-time by adjusting several effects like brightness and contrast creating a unique experience.
Visionary is the world's first browser and also an API created to provide web access and offer a unique digital experience for people with low vision.
In the next 2 years, we expect to launch the prototype of the product and start the design project specifically focused on User Experience for Low Vision. In 5 years, we wish to have created a real impact on the digital world by making usability and accessibility a requirement in every digital project.
