The Inspiration
My future father-in-law has lived with low vision his entire life. The extent that he can see varies day to day. Through much difficulty he worked in a bank most of his life. He found ways to adapt but explained how incredibly difficult it was and how his low vision made his life so much harder. In speaking with him about this project he was really thrilled by some of the technologies already available, and by my vision to unite them and take them even further. The quote that most stood out was “anything that would allow me to be fully autonomous”
