Wayfindr is a British Non-Profit Organization dedicated to bring digital wayfinding to mobile devices and launched the first open standard for visually impaired navigation. indoo.rs is part of their community to spread the idea and provide venue owners get easy access to their visually impaired solution.
Wayfindr has just published a working draft of the world’s first standard for audio wayfinding using wireless technology, along with a demonstration app. It is designed to unite venue owners, digital navigation services, experts in vision impairment and other interested parties at one single point of contact to facilitate the implementation of visually impaired navigation solutions. indoo.rs already has vast experience in providing solutions for the visually impaired community, including projects with big global players such as San Francisco International Airport, MD Support and including their own white label app.
Using the Wayfindr Open Standard, organisations will be able to develop and implement a consistent and reliable navigation experience for blind and partially sighted users.
“Eventually it won’t just be the Underground… It could then be expanded to city level, to restaurants, to shops and that would be really revolutionary. That would change our lives I think.” Ruksana, RLSB Youth Forum Member.
“Having the experience of major installations such as SFO and the creation of the MD Support app behind us, we are excited about joining the Wayfindr Alliance. We are happy to share our experience with the Alliance and further support the visually impaired community across the globe.” Rainer Wolfsberger CEO indoo.rs
indoo.rs Named a 2016 Cool Vendor in Mobile and Wireless by Gartner
On May 2, 2016, indoo.rs announced that it has been included in the “Cool Vendors in Mobile and Wireless, 2016″[1] report just published by Gartner, Inc.
The report states that “Mobile technology has the potential to optimize and speed up existing business processes.” While smartphone innovations have generally been the remit of chip and handset manufacturers, the authors of the report state “The (smartphone and tablets) innovation has shifted to the things that you can connect to smartphones and tablets, as well as the services consumed on the devices that increase the overall experience and value.” The entire Mobile and Wireless report is available to Gartner clients.
“To be named as a Gartner Cool Vendor is a great honor for indoo.rs. We have made advancement in radio data mapping with our SLAM technology.” Said Rainer Wolfsberger CEO of indoo.rs. “This is just our first step in automating the set-up and maintenance through using inhouse developed SLAM technologies. The current and future technology coming out of our R&D will continue to remove barriers to installing indoor positioning and navigation solutions”
“Mobile continues to represent a fundamental, dynamic force that heavily influences the other three segments of the Nexus of Forces: social, cloud and big data. Frequently, new opportunities or threats arise from new applications of mobile technology. Trends in the digital workplace, the Internet of Things (IoT) and user centricity are expanding the breadth, complexity and impacts of mobile and endpoint computing at a pace most organizations are struggling to handle.”
