NaviLens

Description of App

NaviLens is a high-density artificial markers system for long distance reading.

The tags generated by this system are designed in order to be read from a long distance, without the need of focussing and even in motion. This makes them useful for blind and low vision people. All you need to do is to point the camera of the device to a tag in order to quickly read its contents.

The application has a new sound system with which a blind person can locate the label in the space with precision, without the need for headphones.

Notice: While we are installing this signage system in different locations, you can download sample labels in the same application.

We have spent 5 years to create this new technology. We will be happy to receive your impressions and comments about the system.

For more information please read at the quick help, included in the application.

360 Vision: the new function of Ver. 3.0.0

When you detect the NaviLens code in 360 Vision mode, you don't need to worry about missing that location.
The drum sound tells you that derection, the bell sound is the sign when you point that tag.
If you wear the headsets, 3D sound system will give you a great power.
