“You can teach many blind people to use
something, but you can create a visible city for
each of them instead”

Technology:
● The system of BLE(Bluetooth Low Energy)
beacons advertizes information about itself
● Smartphones detects the signal from the beacon
and defines the distance to it
● With the help of sound messages the system
reports the blind user information about the
location and the distance to the selected object
● In case of getting in the range of several
beacons, a blind person will be able to select the
object he needs from the list
● There is a possibility to place the beacons on the
objects of urban infrastructure, as well as
transport facilities
