The interface was the barrier. If someone couldn’t speak, hear, or see, the phone still could.

A slide from the Imagine Cup showcase

Practikality is a three-tier Android app so people who are mute, deaf, or visually impaired can talk to each other — speech, signs, text, and the glue in between. We took it to Imagine Cup. World finals. I was a teenager. There’s a video. Microsoft and YourStory wrote it down; those clips live on the press list.

The glue was the real problem. Three modes is easy to demo and hard to make feel like one conversation. The stack was Android because that’s what I had. I wouldn’t ship it the same way now. I’m still glad it exists.
