Dear All, Please find the below Daily Eyeway Alerts: 1. News- An inclusive website offering COVID-19 data. A young trio designs it for the benefit of the neurodiverse and visually-challenged Dynamic charts are an indispensable part of pandemic reporting. Take the one that tracks the daily case load in a geography. With a gentle glide of the mouse manifesting the data in chronological order, it presents an evolving picture with the minimum of fuss. However, without an accompanying audio feature, this prop means little to a visually-challenged user. Similarly, what is convenient presentation of information to a majority may be a challenge to someone on the autism spectrum. Three neurodiverse youngsters have attempted to address this issue at http://hashhackcode.com/covid-19, an accessible website featuring COVID-19 data they have designed. The website is minimalistic in design. The focus is on simplification that enables easy assimilation of information — to give an idea, tables done in black-and-white colour scheme. In their twenties, S. Saravana Raj, Pranav Sridhar and Prem Shankar collaborated remotely over the last few months with guidance from their teachers and support from their parents to bring out COVID-19 updates.
