New app aids the partially sighted

THE National Trust is trialling the use of a pioneering navigational app for partially sighted visitors at Saltram in Plymouth to improve access to heritage and nature.
New app aids the partially sighted

NaviLens is a free navigation app which can help give greater independence and freedom for users to navigate their way around places with less or even no aid.

The technology is currently in use on transport systems across Spain and in some parts of the USA and UK, as well as in some museums and food products in UK supermarkets.

The app uses QR-style codes that users can detect on their phones. Users point their phones in the general direction, and the NaviLens app picks up the codes in the vicinity.
