An innovative solution for accessibility and orientation developed by RightHear, will make cruises completely accessible to blind and visually impaired passengers.
The solution is based on lessons learned in successful implementation of RightHear’s technology in hotels, restaurants and entertainment venues. The system will allow blind and visually impaired passengers to orient themselves independently across cruise ships.
“Today, on some cruise ships blind travelers can use braille signs, but they cannot walk independently around the ship like seeing people,” said Idan Meir, RightHear’s CEO. “The RightHear system provides accurate voice guidance to the blind and visually impaired, including a detailed description of the immediate environment in which they are located, voice guidance about where they are headed, and a description of obstacles to be avoided.”
