This week's episode:
It's been called 'a phenomenal example of inclusive design' and it's spreading across subway stations, museums and supermarkets around the world.
NaviLens is a new technology designed to help blind and partially sighted people navigate cities and indoor spaces by scanning a QR code with their phone. Unlike traditional QR codes, users don’t need to focus on the code or know its precise location.
In this episode, we sit down with Oran McAllister, NaviLens’ Client Engagement Officer, to explore this new frontier in accessibility and how it can help visually impaired people gain more independence.
We also cover:
- NaviLens’ origins in Spain and how the technology has gained traction in over 100 countries, from the US to Australia
- Why major transport systems from London to Tokyo and brands like Kellogg’s and P&G are signing on
- How NaviLens makes grocery shopping more accessible for everyone, from travellers to people with autism
