Products or Services Provided
WayAround provides smart audio labels for blind and low vision individuals to use around their homes to label everything from clothing and medications to games and craft supplies. The labels work with the accessibility settings on the user’s smartphone--this makes it work for people who have low vision, no vision, or are deafblind.
WayAround is in beta testing for a product for public spaces that uses the same technology to supplement ADA signs and other signage with accessible information.
