This week, the team fully integrated our text-to-speech system into the prototype. Additionally, new features, such as proximity alarms and navigation nodes, were added to facilitate user navigation. Major bugs discovered last week were mostly fixed. Even though further polishment and bug fixes are needed, the team has reached its first milestone of having a fully navigatable prototype for the blind user. The team also had the opportunity to meet up with the freedom scientific blind engineers this week to demo the prototype and gather feedback. Starting next week, the team will incorporate those feedback into the prototype and make sure it is inspection day ready.

Besides the prototype development, the team is continuing the blind user interview process. If you know any blind gamers or users, feel free to spread the word and encourage them to sign up for an interview session with us:)
