Navilens
A navigation and information system that uses specially designed colorful QR-like codes that can be detected by a smartphone camera from long distances and wide angles, without requiring precise aiming. Originally developed for people with visual impairments, Navilens codes can be placed on museum exhibits, transit stations, buildings, and signage to provide location-specific information and wayfinding guidance. The system supports multiple languages and can deliver audio descriptions, directions, and contextual information when a user's phone detects a code.
