NaviLens is incredibly userfriendly, with a free app that works on Android and Apple devices, providing a personalised tool to access information effortlessly. These special codes, NaviLens codes, act like secret keys that companies are cleverly incorporating into their product packaging. For instance, Kellogg’s partnered with RNIB for World Sight Day 2020, adding NaviLens codes to cereal boxes to provide accessible information like product details and nutrition.
Moreover, NaviLens codes aren’t limited to products; they help users navigate buildings, identify transport stops, and access realtime information. In the bustling cityscape, NaviLens is making waves, enhancing inclusivity in train stations, bus stops,
museums, and public buildings globally. Take New York, for example, where NaviLens codes in the Subway help people with sight loss independently navigate the subway system. The codes offer real-time train information in multiple languages, eliminating the need for GPS or internet access underground.
Across Spain, where NaviLens originated, the impact is substantial. IIn Barcelona, the underground and bus transport system feature NaviLens codes on signage, bus stops, and ticket machines. Murcia embraces NaviLens on buses, trams, and even in its Archaeological Museum, providing accessible information on exhibits.
London joins the wave, Transport for London (TfL) and operator of the DLR, have partnered with GoMedia and the RNIB to trial NaviLens. The trial will take place at Cutty Sark, Canary Wharf, Woolwich Arsenal, and Tower Gateway DLR stations for six months.
NaviLens breaks language barriers too, automatically translating information into the language set on your smartphone, making it accessible to a diverse audience.
In essence, NaviLens isn’t just tech; it’s a bridge to independence and understanding in a world full of information.
