A smartphone rests on a light-colored surface next to two glasses of iced tea. The phone screen displays the Zamonos website, which allows users to search for accessible places by selecting categories like mobility, cognitive, vision, hearing, medical, dietary, and societal. The search fields show “Pizza” in New York, NY, USA. The interface uses colorful buttons and icons for each accessibility category.
An accessible bathroom with a wall-mounted toilet and handrails on both sides, plus space to transfer from either side. The sink has clear leg space underneath. Issues noted include a raised flusher that may be difficult to press, a mirror that may be too high for seated users, a dryer that may be hard to reach, and the absence of a visible soap dispenser. Text overlaid on the image, with both white and red backgrounds, depicts each of the access features, or lack thereof.
A sepia-toned graphic showing a tipped-over coffee jar spilling ground coffee. The spilled coffee forms an illustration of a person in a wheelchair facing a small set of steps leading to a door, symbolizing an inaccessible coffee shop. The text reads: “When your local coffee shop can’t be your local coffee shop.” In the bottom right corner is the logo of The World is Accessible.
Inside a Simpsons-style café, a wheelchair user with a raised eyebrow and crossed arms looks at an open “accessible toilet” door - revealing a cluttered storage room full of boxes, a mop, and random items. The café owner, smiling sheepishly, says, “At least we have a toilet for disabled customers... right?!”
A cartoon in the style of The Simpsons shows a man in a wheelchair sitting with a neutral expression. He is flanked by two animated characters offering exaggerated praise. On the left, a smiling woman gestures enthusiastically with a speech bubble that reads, “You’re so brave!” On the right, a tall man stands proudly with a speech bubble saying, “You’re such an inspiration!” The background is a simple light blue, keeping the focus on the characters’ exaggerated reactions.
A car navigates through a flooded street in a small village. The road is covered with muddy water, and splashes are visible around the car. The street is lined with houses with tiled roofs and a church with a pointed steeple in the background. The sky is overcast, and the scene suggests heavy rain or a storm. Dim streetlights are faintly visible through the misty air.
