The Microsoft Expo topic of Spring 2015 was on Inclusive Design. We decided to tackle the grocery shopping space after conducting some research and interviews. Shopping for groceries is a necessity, but more often than not, these spaces are designed with only the able bodied in mind. We created an app platform that would allow neighbors to assist each other in grocery shopping by sharing shopping lists and picking up items for each other if they’re at the store already. This benefits the able-bodied as each person would need to make less trips in the long run, but especially the elderly and handicapped. The app also introduces geotagged labels that allow for navigation within a store.
