NaviLens is a technology developed to empower people who are blind or have low vision and allows them to independently navigate unknown places by translating visual signage into audio messages. The technology consists of two mobile phone applications and a multi-colored QR-style code.

The codes can be:

• Detected from up to 50 feet away
• Read and detected within a second
• Read unfocused even when the user is unaware a code is within range
• Read from an angle of 160 degrees
• Read in all light conditions
• Provide the user with real-time bus information or any other information stored in the code
• Provide the user with accurate orientation to the code
• Provide audio or text messages in 33 different languages and utilize the user’s preferred phone language setting to deliver the message.
