Innovative Practice 2016: Wayfindr – Empowering vision impaired people to travel independently
Channel: Zero Project
Date: 2016-02-09

The mission of Wayfindr is to create an Open Standard for Audio Wayfinding. The standard helps the makers of wayfinding products to create experiences that are consistent, seamless, and reliable. Moreover, the implementation of such a standard will empower vision-impaired people to move independently throughout their various environments – whether completing day-to-day tasks or exploring new places around the world – by giving them access to reliable, consistent directions from their smart phones and other devices. Wayfindr will also be leading the way in the installation of Beacon technology in underground rail networks, for the first time opening up fully independent travel in cities such as London to vision-impaired people.
