SECTORS
Smart and Accessible City
The Challenge
Our goal is to provide safe and accessible navigation for people with visual impairments and other disabilities to key destinations in urban areas, including universities, parks, and beaches. We aim to ensure they can safely cross streets and reach their intended locations.
The Solution
Our DMD STEP-HEAR App, integrated with our Guiding and Assistive devices, activates Audio Anchor unit(s) and Beacon Units to mark the way. The App also signals the location of crosswalks, requests the light to change, and provides an adjustable audible signal.
TOURISM
The Challenge
To improve accessibility for disabled tourists and travelers by providing clear wayfinding in places such as airports, shopping centers and conference centers.
The Solution
With our Guiding and Assistive devices installed, tourists can use the DMD STEP-HEAR App to easily navigate venues. The app activates our Audio Anchor unit(s) and Beacon Units, guiding visitors through the space. Tourists can also receive messages in their own language and, if needed, call for assistance by activating the Assistant device at the venues information counter.
RETAIL
For the blind, visually impaired, and those with mobility disabilities, navigating a supermarket can be incredibly challenging. Finding the entrance, locating specific aisles and departments, and reaching checkout can pose significant obstacles. Even the elderly may struggle to independently access and transport the products they need.
The Challenge
Our DMD STEP-HEAR App, integrated with our Guiding and Assistive devices, provides a solution. Users can easily activate our Audio Anchor unit(s) and Beacon Units to receive auditory guidance and directions. And with the press of a button, the Assistant device transmits an immediate call for help from the user's precise location directly to the main service desk.
The Solution
By leveraging assistive technology, we empower those with visual and physical limitations to manage their retail experiences confidently and independently.
GAS STATIONS
The Challenge
Customers with mobility disabilities may struggle to access or operate the fuel pump if the attendant fails to respond to their requests for assistance.
The Solution
The DMD STEP-HEAR App integrated with the Assistive Device provides a straightforward way to call the attendant and confirm that help is on the way. The activation button on the App can send both a vocal and visual alert to the device at the service counter, notifying the attendant.
ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS
The Challenge
Visually impaired students often struggle to independently navigate the campus and find key locations like the cafeteria, classrooms, and library. Similarly, students with mobility disabilities frequently face difficulty activating the wheelchair lifts or elevators on their own.
The Solution
The DMD STEP-HEAR App, which integrates with our Guiding and Assistive devices, empowers students to independently navigate the campus. With the app, students can activate Audio Anchor unit(s) and Beacon Units to find their way. Additionally, disabled students can use the app to operate the wheelchair lift and elevators independently.
MEDICAL CENTERS
The Challenge
The complexity, crowding and stress of hospitals and medical centers can be especially daunting for elderly and disabled patients, making it even more difficult for them to get oriented or request and receive necessary assistance.
The Solution
The DMD STEP-HEAR App integrates with our Guiding and Assistive devices to activate Audio Anchor unit(s) and Beacon Units that provide wayfinding to the desired destination. The app also allows users to request assistance throughout the premises, including at entrances and exits.
PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION
The Challenge
The blind, visually impaired, and those with mobility disabilities often face difficulties when using public transportation. They may struggle to locate the right stop, access information on routes and schedules or alert the driver that they need assistance at a particular stop.
The Solution
Installing our Smart Card Technology at stops and public transit makes it easier for the user to:
- Get directions to the nearest stop for their destination.
- Find out when the next transport vehicle is due at the stop.
- Message the driver that a person with a disability is waiting and needs assistance.
Additionally, the technology can provide users with information about nearby amenities like cafes, shops, and restrooms. While on the vehicle, users can also find out the upcoming stop and message the driver to request a stop.
Overall, the smart card system helps to improve accessibility and independence for riders with disabilities, empowering them to better navigate and use public transportation.
FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS
Improved accessibility of services for all customers.
To enhance accessibility for all customers, we offer a wide range of services and technologies to assist those with visual and mobility issues.
For visually impaired customers, locating key areas like the bank entrance, ATM, or restrooms can be challenging. Our DMD STEP-HEAR app, integrated with our Guiding and Assistive devices, allows users to easily activate audio signs and beacons to find their way.
Similarly, customers with mobility impairments or the elderly may struggle to open doors independently. With the Assistant device at the Service Counter, they can call for help as needed.
By providing these accessible solutions, we aim to ensure all customers can navigate our facilities and access our services with ease and independence.
