A frontend developer with cerebral palsy shares the journey of building To Come Home, a 3D interactive website that helps young disabled people discover mobility aids. The project uses a house metaphor with room-based navigation, built with React, ThreeJS, and Blender, where users can explore hotspots tied to daily activities. Unlike traditional medical supply sites that target caregivers or seniors, this platform is user-powered, allowing disabled individuals to recommend tools themselves. The developer conducted extensive user research with a test panel of young disabled adults and medical professionals to ensure the design respected their capabilities rather than patronizing them.
