I wonderif I could seek any knowledge or experience from people using
the Wayfinder system.
To explain I am on the Built Environment Access Panel for the LLODCand
as such I help scrutinise developments in and around theOlympic Park
area of London.
An ongoing point of discussion I have with various Architect teams is
their use of open spaces without any environmental aids, such as guided
tactile paving to assist long cane users to, for example, navigate to
walkways and bridges.
It has been suggestedto me on this Panel that the Wayfinder system would
be a more realistic technological solution to enabling visually impaired
people to traverse open spaces, rather than installing tactile markers.
Does anybody have formal or personal feedback - negative or positive on
the usefulness of the Wayfinder system and whether it is a suitable
option for navigating open spaces?
