Work has started on creating the PDR. This began with work on the minor report. The team worked together to get each of the pieces done and merge them into the final document cohesively.

We compiled a literature review that focused on what the industry is currently doing to design applications that are accessible to blind and low-vision users. This research has shown us multiple design philosophies that have been proven to be successful accessible app development. We learned optimal ways position components of the app on the screen so that they are most accessible, as well as how to design the app navigation experience so that it flows intuitively.

We composed multiple design concepts given this new information. We ranked them on multiple conditions to better understand the path that we want to take the app. These designs were evalutaed on metrics that would judge how successful they would be in practial use.

In the next coming week the team will continue to contact the weather API companies for more information on their services, and we will draft our report based on feedback from our coach and liaison to start preparing for the PDR. Once this draft is completed, we will compile all the necessary information to prepare the PDR. We are currently deciding what day is going to be best to present the PDR to the company.
