Today’s technology provides a significant opportunity for those with accessibility needs to feel more connected to the world around them. Museums, zoos, and similar institutions have looked to mobile applications as a resource for guests with visual impairments. Our team of five WPI undergraduate students researched, designed, developed, and tested EcoTarium Explorer, an accessible mobile application for the Worcester EcoTarium. EcoTarium Explorer enhances the EcoTarium experience for all visitors and is an effective tool for guests with visual impairments.
