Gratitude and Acknowledgments

I want to express my sincere appreciation to my incredible teammates, Elaine Xiao, Lanh Hoang, and Adibvafa Fallahpour. Despite the short duration of our weekend hackathon, your dedication and hard work were truly commendable. In that brief time, we managed to bring Blink to life as a minimum viable product. Your contributions have played a vital role in turning our vision into a tangible prototype, with the potential to make a meaningful impact in empowering individuals with visual impairments.

A special thank you to our event coordinators who orchestrated the hackathon event. Your efforts have paved the way for a new era of accessibility and inclusivity.
