University of Guelph installs BlindSquare app to guide students who are visually impaired
Kate Bueckert, CBC News, June 1, 2018
A new wayfinding system will help University of Guelph students who are blind or visually impaired get around campus this fall, and all students need to do to access it is download an app on their phone. A few years ago, the university wanted to do more to make signs more inclusive and accessible. The university is the first in Canada to install it on campus, and it’s the first campus in the world to have all three levels (beacons, GPS and QR codes). The goal is to have the entire University of Guelph campus on the BlindSquare within five years.
