UW students develop app for disabled people

Submitted by KOMO Staff on Tuesday, March 16th, 10:59am

SEATTLE -- For those with a disability, a little help can go a long way.

They have a new source of help at their fingertips, thanks to University of Washington computer and engineering students.

The students created five different phone applications to help the disabled with real-world tasks.

Professor Richard Ladner said the students worked in teams to develop five different applications. This was not a competition, so throughout the process, the students collaborated with each other and even shared code.

Bottom line: their assignment was to produce accessibility tools.

"Nearly 90 percent of America's blind children are not learning to read and write," said UW student Janet Hollier.

So Hollier and her team created "BrailleLearn," a mobile application that makes it fun to learn braille. It's a virtual pet game.

The player uses the touch pad and vibrations in the phone to learn braille symbols. You earn tokens for correct answers to keep your pet happy and fed.

"They get to feed it they get to exercise it. They get to play with it," said Hollier.

How not to bomb on St. Paddy's Day

Submitted by Amy Roe on Tuesday, March 16th, 09:53am

Wednesday is St. Patrick’s Day, which means lots of folks will crowd into pubs to order a drink called an Irish car bomb.

They won’t be serving them at Conor Byrne in Ballard.

Owner Diarmuid Cullen said he thinks the drink’s name is insensitive and likens ordering one to “walking into a bar in lower Manhattan and ordering a 'Flight 93.'”

An Irish car bomb is made by dropping a shot comprised of Bailey’s Irish Cream and Jameson’s Irish Whiskey into a pint of Guinness.

It's not just the Irish. All “bomb” drinks—in which a shot is dropped into a glass of beverage— do more than break a lot of glasses, Cullen said. They can trigger unruly behavior.  Conor Byrne doesn’t serve any of them.

Besides, Cullen doesn’t think his dad would be proud “if he knew I was messing up a pint of Guinness.”
