Hi! I'm Timon - a developer from Germany.
Scholarships
Timon has been awarded a WWDC scholarship two times. Here are the submissions that got him there.
In 2024, applicants were tasked with creating an interactive app playground on the topic of their choice to showcase their passion for coding. New for 2024, 50 Distinguished Winners were recognized for their outstanding submissions and invited to Apple in Cupertino. Here’s how Timon describes his winning submission.
Theo translates text into haptic feedback and then into tactile feedback. It is designed to be the interface for deafblind individuals to communicate with the outer-world. Theo doesn't require sight or hearing but rather relies on touch and gestures. For example you can just speak up and the app will automatically start translating it into haptic feedback. By shaking the device, the deafblind person can switch to simple chat mode, allowing interaction using gestures only.
