The system comprises a mobile app and the company's patented HD InfoCode technology. Users can mount a smartphone on an adjustable waist belt or cane, allowing the app to read HD InfoCodes placed on floors, walls, doors, and appliances in public spaces. This setup offers voice read-outs and on-screen text to assist users in navigating environments independently.
HD InfoCodes are high-density 2D codes that store comprehensive instructions and location guidance within the code itself, eliminating the need for internet access or external databases. This offline capability ensures users receive complete and accurate information, enhancing their autonomy and safety in various settings.
