SimplAR - Functional illiteracy - the inability to understand texts sufficiently - affects 1 in 7 people. SimplAR assists affected people by leveraging the power of Natural Language Processing: the user can take a picture of any text, which is then simplified into an understandable version, following the Plain Language guidelines. This way, the app aims to make the world more accessible for anyone.

QRegister - QRegister removes the need of physical paper receipts upon transactions and instead encourages the use of QR codes for users to virtually keep track of all their receipts.

Registration for this event is closed.
Please contact the event organizer for assistance.
