Mobilis Laboratory presented next generation of sound beacons on briefing at the Department of Social and Youth Policy of Vinnytsia Region State Administration.
The fundamental difference of next generation of sound beacons is: the sound signal is provided only when the blind person is approaching. For actiovation, the user can use several methods: the first option is software application on mobile phone. This methods works for about of 50% of blind people, who use smartphones (with the VoiceOver function). And for the other 50% who do not use gadgets, we have developed an alternative – pocket activator device. The user puts it in his pocket and the device will activate beacons. Sound beacons will be activated automatically, as the user just approaches.
