BindiMaps is a mobile app that locates users precisely in indoor spaces. It employs a simple, natural-language audio system to describe where users are and what’s around them, and the best way to get to their chosen destination.
BindiMaps does this using a network of Bluetooth beacons, a sophisticated mapping and route-guidance system, and smartphone sensors.
While BindiMaps adds a layer of convenience for most of us, it completely changes the way people with vision impairment access indoor spaces. BindiMaps removes significant barriers to navigation, and opens up a whole new world for discovery.
