MeepMeep was BUILT WITH ACCESSIBILITY AS THE TOP PRIORITY

"{Eve} Olynyk and her mentor {Mike Shannon} then researched if those with visual impairments had already found their way to disc golf, and their digging turned up the Blind Disc Golf Association(BDGA). The group helps connect those with visual impairments who are into disc golf and shares resources to make the hobby easier and more enjoyable for community members. To Olynyk's surprise, a little scrolling on BDGA's page showed that the group had already expressed a desire for exactly the sort of device she was imagining. 

"We didn't build the app and then add accessibility: We built it with accessibility as the forefront," said Olynyk. "It had to be easy to use and not impact your game. We focused on software design for our app to make sure it was a pleasant experience for all players, so we had to ensure it could follow best blind practices such as font size or contrast and have the ability to be usable with screen readers."

From product design to packaging to the app design, every part of the MeepMeep experience was built with inclusivity and accessibility as the priority.
