Two award-winning Brisbane engineering students, one of whom is blind, are building what they claim is a world-first stargazing app to cater to the blindness community.
The app has been designed using NASA data and allows users to move their phones around and understand where corresponding planets, satellites, stars and comets are using touch and sound.
The developers behind the app are Yuma Decaux and Jake Dean, engineering students who launched a start-up company called OSeyeris.
Decaux was left blind after a firework launched straight at him instead of into the sky and exploded in his face while he was working in Asia almost 10 years ago.
