High-Level Project Summary
There are more than 300 million people with vision deficiency. Hence we suggest an addition to the dashboard to make it more accessible. This was done by looking at various color spectrum that we think are more sensitive to the human eye.This will be advantageous when having a glance at the dashboard, giving an overview rather straining eyes and trying to distinguish it visually.We suggest to add some options to add color accordingly for the people with such issue, or maybe give them option to add from a spectrum to make it easier for them.

Detailed Project Description
The project that we have come up with is to alter the way data is presented.
Specially the way the color representation is available. Hence we introduced some changes over there.
This is supported by the data available, as available in the presentation, about the sensitivity of the colors to human eye.
In the future there can be an option to add a gradient option to show the numbers in a heat-map kind of situation. The gradient should be green to yellow tint, as it is sensitive to human eye and also it will contrast the blue nature of the visually presented Earth surface from outer space.

Hackathon Journey
We as a team have always been passionate about science and technology, growing up togehether yogesh always had difficulty accessing nasa datasets due to its inaccessibility for special needs people, we tried to code various means over time to incorporate accessibility features in open source libraries and software development kits. Therefore in this hackathon it was our goal to improve upon a data analytics channel by incorporating better UI in the seismic activity app
