GoodMaps is a free navigation platform that helps blind and low-vision people move through complex buildings with confidence and independence. Using your smartphone’s camera and audio, you can get accurate, turn-by-turn directions to locations like meeting rooms, exhibit halls, restrooms, and entrances, without relying on extra hardware in the building. Behind the scenes, GoodMaps uses advanced mapping, computer vision, and AI to provide precise positioning, but the experience is simple: you choose where you want to go, listen to clear guidance, and stay focused on what you’re there to do.
ReBokeh is a visual accessibility tool that you can access directly from your iPhone or iPad, that lets you use your device like a digital magnifier and distance viewing device in one! You can add contrast adjustments, make a scene look brighter with enhanced exposure, adjust colors, access image descriptions from AI and more, to make the most of your vision and accomplish visual tasks independently.
ReBokeh All Access means that while you are on site at United in Vision, you will automatically have access to the premium tier of ReBokeh’s capabilities for free! Just make sure your location services are turned on, and all features will unlock automatically. You won’t even need to set up an account while you are onsite.
