Announcing a New Affordable Navigation and Information
Technology for
the Blind and Visually Impaired The STEP- HEAR System
The STEP-HEAR
system provides accurate directional information, thus guaranteeing
improved way-finding for blind and visually impaired persons in
accessing transit facilities, transportation, public buildings and
other points of interest.
With its simple to use,
low-cost design, the STEP-HEAR system will enhance the lives
of visually impaired users across the globe.
User-Friendly, Easy to
Install Technology
The STEP-HEAR
system is based on Radio Frequency (RF) technology and is comprised of
two units: a transmitter/base and a small receiver/activator.
Installed
at strategic
locations, the base sends out a continuous signal. When the activator,
held
by the
user,
is within the range of the base, it vibrates and beeps. Pressing a
button on the activator will trigger a pre-recorded voice message from
the base. This helps the user to obtain information and become
oriented toward the location, be it an office, an elevator or a bus.
Instantly Improves
Accessibility
The STEP-HEAR
system can be used virtually anywhere: Government & Municipal
buildings, Post Offices, Schools and Universities, Museums,
Conferences and Exhibitions, Hospitals, Nursing-homes, Banks, ATM
machines, Stores, Hotels, Transportation vehicles, Recreational
places, and more. Designed with universal recognition, users will
ultimately be able to use their activators anywhere in the world,
simplifying and enhancing international travel.
An Affordable Price
The STEP-HEAR
system is very simple to use and available at a very low cost, with
base units available for as low as $130 and activators for as low as
$25. Leading organizations for the blind and
visually impaired are already coming forward to subsidize the cost of
the system.
