Developed by students, Padam Chopra, Keshav Maheshwari and Aryaman Agrawal, from Amity International, New Delhi, the ‘Practikality’ app aims to empower people with disabilities.
While Braille helps the visually impaired to read and write, sign language aids the deaf in expressing themselves. But, these can sometimes be a form of one-way communication. The machine learning-based Practikality app provides a fully interactive mechanism for deaf and blind people to communicate with ease, and is in its final stages of testing. The app is scheduled to be launched on Android and on the web in March this year.
