Empowering the visually impaired

NaviLens® is an innovative accessibility technology that helps people who are blind, low vision, or have other print disabilities navigate the world around them. Using QR code-like markers, it provides audio-based information that can be accessed with a smartphone or tablet. NaviLens® is an easy-to-use solution for accessing important information in public spaces such as buildings, streets, and transit systems.

How Does NaviLens® Work?

1) Scan: Open the NaviLens® app on your smartphone or tablet.

2) Point: Point your device towards the colorful NaviLens® markers (often found on signs or posted in key areas).

3) Listen: The app will automatically play the audio description of the information encoded on the marker. This could be anything from instructions, directions, or announcements.

Key Features of NaviLens®

Fast and Accurate: NaviLens® works quickly, even at a distance of up to 15 feet, ensuring ease of use in busy environments.

Multilingual: NaviLens® provides information in multiple languages, making it accessible to people from diverse backgrounds.

Inclusive: The technology is designed to help people with visual impairments, but it’s also useful for anyone who needs additional support accessing public information.
