Last month, the Denver Museum of Nature & Science launched a new system that uses micronavigation to aid visually impaired guests who are walking through exhibits.

EdgGuide was developed by the museum, the Blind Institute of Technology and CACI, according to a news release.

“Widespread adoption of technology like EdgGuide is key to solving the opportunity gap for people with disabilities seeking to participate in the modern world,” said Mike Hess, founder and executive director of the Blind Institute of Technology, in the news release.

Hess, who has been blind since the third grade, added: “It’s hard to put into words the emotions that swirl when I think of all the opportunities EdgGuide will create for those with visual impairments. Personally, the ability to independently explore the museum and the wealth of details that EdgGuide provided nearly brought me to tears.”

The EdgGuide system uses wall-mounted anchors, a wearable tag and an iOS application to direct users through the museum. The sensors can tell where people are standing within 20 centimeters, the release said. The app will also give users information on exhibits.
