This new technology is allowing visually impaired patrons to have a unique experience at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science.
It’s all thanks to ‘EdgGuide,‘ a micro navigation system that allows for detailed and accurate indoor navigation around the museum.
“We wanted to make sure all patrons get a real robust experience either through visual or auditory,” said Mike Hess, executive director and founder of the Blind Institute of Technology.
Hess, who was born blind, came up with the idea. Basically, you download a free app (featuring the program) onto your cellphone. You then ask someone at the ticket desk inside the museum for the rest of the setup.
