Sight Village are excited to be trialling NaviLens codes in Birmingham this year!
NaviLens uses smart QR-style codes which can be scanned from a distance using a smartphone to receive instant, spoken information, making navigation easier and more independent. If this sounds familiar, you might have come across a NaviLens code on your Kellogg’s breakfast cereal.
Simply launch the NaviLens app and pan your phone around the room. As soon as a NaviLens code is detected, you will be given information about what it has detected, how far away it is and in what direction. As you move around, the direction and distance will automatically update to match your location.
A number of codes will be placed around the Sight Village venue by the event organisers, and we will additionally be displaying a NaviLens code at our stand.
We hope this will help you find your way around Sight Village more effectively. If you’re able to try it, please do let ourselves and the Sight Village team know what you think. Your feedback will help shape how the Braillists and Sight Village use this technology in the future.
