Tina Lowe, UCD Campus Accessibility Officer, talks with Sasha Smith, UCD Classical Museum.
Talking about a project to make the museum more accessible by mapping a Navilens self-guided tour of the Classical Museum onto Navilens. The Navilens system uses special QR codes in conjunction with the navigational app. The app was originally developed for people with visual impairment although it has found additional uses by serving situational and directional information in multiple languages and so addressing needs for a much wider audience. Navilens is currently being trialled and rolled out in UCD, a project being led by Emily Smith (Assistive Technology Coordinator).
