Project overview
Drive-through is a type of take-out service provided by a business that allows customers to purchase products without leaving their cars. It’s very common nowadays, but the process is mostly not deaf-friendly and mute-friendly.
So what can we do as designers? How can we help? How can we make deaf and mute people feel comfortable using drive-throughs?

Translation
The translation feature allows users to translate ASL to text and speech in real-time. Users can also upload an existing ASL video from their camera roll to translate in the app.

Map
The map feature is using GPS to see which restaurant offers a drive-thru. This feature is created based on user research which shows me lots of users feel more comfortable when the restaurant has a drive-thru.
