Urban Jungles' app is an open source, crowd-sourced, public, data driven app to allow users' who are neurodiverse to monitor their surroundings in an attempt to avoid or cope with areas that negatively affect their senses.
There are seven senses which can affect a person who is neurodiverse. For some, these senses can affect them to the point they are unable to perform some of the basic activities in life. Those senses are: sight, smell, touch, taste, noise, spatial and balance.
There are no existing solutions provided in real time to allow a neurodiverse user to plan a journey or assist them whilst on their journey. There is some public data to establish a reference point for new users.
Develop an app to address two tasks:
- Provide a Journey Planner taking into account, the neurodiverse user's level of sensitivity to the seven senses;
- Allow users to switch from a journey map to a terrain viewer to help with spatial & depth perception challenges.
