The problem AssistVis solves

What Inspired Us?

Over a billion incredible people on earth are differently-abled, due to these uncontrollable circumstances most of them are not able to use their electronic devices as efficiently as they potentially could. Due to which, lots of potential writers, engineers, musicians, etc might not be able to pursue their passions easily and create great things for humanity, and enjoy their lives a bit more.

We believe that everyone should have equal opportunity and means necessary to build anything because, "Everything around us, that we call life, was built up by people that are no smarter than us." So, we decided to build this app that could help to solve this problem for physically disabled people and make the world a better place.

Challenges we ran into

  • We both didn't have any prior experience in building apps with Python. So, this hackathon taught us many new things especially toying around with the GUI.
  • Ishan uses Windows and Kushal uses MacOS. It meant that there were issues of setting up the project for both of us to bring it up to pace.
  • Obviously, we had to do a lot of StackOverflow searches on how to fix bugs, installation issues and things not working as we expected them to.
