Announcing a New Affordable Navigation and Information Technology for Blind and Visually Impaired Persons – The STEP- hear&trade System
january 2009
The step-hear&trade 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&trade system will enhance the lives of blind and visually impaired users across the globe.
User-Friendly, Easy to Install Technology
The step-hear&trade 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&trade 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&trade 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.
