It is not easy for people with reduced physical capabilities to manage everything in the modern world. Not every city on the planet is adjusted for their normal existence in the society. But this is not a reason to give up and lock yourself within four walls. After having conducted the research and having communicated with blind people we decided to try to solve one of the most important and difficult problems – orientation and navigation in the city. All Russia Association of the Blind (VOS) consulted us during the process of app development
How does it work?
The user fills with data on crossing lights anywhere in the world: whether they are equipped with a tactile paving and audible signals, and how long they function. Because of open API access, anyone can do it. Then, they will get tagged by gps tags on an interactive map.
Other than this, any city executive board can share data on its city’s crossing lights. In this case, users will know about all of the crossing lights in their cities, and even what color is on at the moment.
