Project Overview

About 285 million people worldwide are visually impaired, and their use of electronic devices is limited. This project aims to bring the visually impaired into the digital world. The project will redesign Wikipedia's structure, including a simple edit style and image processing methods. The target group includes people with visual impairments, such as low contrast sensitivity or complete blindness. The project aims to provide an economical solution for visually impaired users, enabling them to independently access knowledge. The final product will be a modified Wikipedia prototype.
