Richard,
You are talking about my most favourite app for identification and
navigation!!! NaviLens is wonderful and at an important point in its
development. I am on a campaign, as a user of the app, although, I do have
links with the NaviLens Team, to get people using the free app. Over here, in
Ireland and the UK, some products are using the NaviLens QR Codes, so that when
you are in the supermarket, you just fire up the app, and scan the shelves and
voila! your phone will find the codes, identify them and guide you, minutely,
to exactly where they are on the shelf. Also, with just a flick, you can read
all the info that is available to the sighted public, instructions, ingredients
safety etc.
We have started a Whatsapp group for NaviLens users, but I am thinking to
start an IO group, which would be more manageable,. Because, at the moment, P
and G, and Kellogg's, are using the codes, so, we can find the products in the
cereal isle, in the beauty isle and now in the laundry isle! Each time a code
is scanned, the app informs the navilens website, phones/people are anonymous,
but the scan is registered to see how much people are using the app.
Unfortunately, because of many reasons, most of which we all know, VIPs have
developed our own ways of shopping, which doesn't often involve shopping in
person or independently. But business is int3rested in numbers, so, if we want
this to grow, we need to get scanning!!! This is my mission in life, for the
present...
People don't know that you can get iron-on clothing labels, not for free,
but you can record any info you like on them, colour, washing instructions etc.
There is so much potential for these codes and for us! Watch this space for the
new NaviLens User Group on the IO platform!!!
Sandy and new Guide Dog, Zyon The Bold!
