# POINT (Point Of INterest Tourguide)
Hackathon Winner | Most Creative Track | TechNYU
## Overview
[POINT](https://devpost.com/software/wandervoice) is a web application that enables users to calculate routes between a starting point and a destination, displaying points of interest (POIs) along the way. Users can also listen to audio descriptions of select locations.
## Features
- **Route Calculation:** Input a starting location and destination to compute the optimal route.
- **Points of Interest Display:** View notable locations along the route with relevant details.
- **Audio Playback:** Listen to descriptions of select POIs.
- **Interactive Map:** Visual representation of routes and POIs using a mapping service.
- **Responsive Design:** Optimized for various devices and screen sizes.
## Technologies Used
- **Frontend Framework:** Next.js (React-based framework)
- **TypeScript:** For type-safe JavaScript development
- **Styling:** Tailwind CSS
- **Mapping Library:** (Google Maps API)
- **Text-to-speech:** (Eleven Labs)
- **API Integration:** Communication with the backend Flask API
## Demo
