"Our mission is to empower vision impaired people to travel independently, through inclusive and accessible audio navigation. Formed in 2015 and based in London, we have developed the world's first internationally-approved standard for accessible audio navigation."
"Wayfindr, London's best shot at transport accessibility for the blind, was developed out of a couple's new year's resolution. Digital designer Umesh Pandya and his optometrist wife were looking at ways they could collaborate in 2014, while satisfying a deep-rooted desire to help blind people. "We wanted to help people living with sight loss," says Pandya, "My wife obviously deals with the diagnosis and prevention part of it, but I can't do the prevention because I'm not a scientist. I had an interest in accessibility work anyway, and I'm fascinated with the internet of things, connectivities, and exploring what happens when our interface disappears.""
