London-based digital design studio ustwo is working on a project with the Royal London Society for Blind People (RLSB) to determine whether iBeacons/Bluetooth Low Energy beacon technology can be used to help visually impaired individuals navigate public transport by mapping their location dynamically and providing audio cues to direct them through stations and onto trains via an app.
The project is very much a work in progress at this point, with ustwo having built a prototype to prove the concept and brought the RLSB in to test it. The basic idea is that once the visually impaired user enters a public transport terminal where iBeacons (or similar BLE tech) have been deployed and opens the app (called wayfindr), their location can be determined via trilateration, based on pings from the nearest iBeacons, and mapped on their device — and then directions provided through bone conducting earphones.
