Our Mission

Designing devices with care, consideration and empathy.
Team working on Ver

The mission statement for Ver was simple - create a device that would allow those with low and no vision to make ligher work of the challenges that face them, in a world designed for the sighted.

As an ANU Capstone project, six final year B. Engineering (Honours) students delivered a functional prototype that fulfilled this mission statement - learning to design, build and iterate with continuous care and consideration for the end user.

The end result is the Ver One, a small, lightweight device that combines both open-source hardware and multimodal large language models that demonstrates the team's applied practice of human-centered design.

I could not have been more proud of what this team achieved. It was an honour to guide, to mentor and to have them believe that they could design such a device in the short time the project allowed.
