Who is the tool for?

• Citizens

Type of solution

• Software-based

Objective

• Social development

Maturity level

• Ready to adapt & replicate

Why is it used?

Potential users and clients — particularly citizens or tourists with disabilities, as well as elderly people and families with prams — want to access realistic and objective information remotely about the accessibility of facilities.
A small- to medium-sized city aims to provide citizens and tourists with user-friendly accessibility information that presents routes and facility accessibility step by step from the user’s perspective.

How is the tool used by the recipient?

The interactive 3D tool allows recipients to virtually explore streets and routes from a first-person perspective, with important information displayed about recommended accessible paths to a location.

Which problem is solved?

Addressing the lack of user-centred, step-by-step information on access routes and facility accessibility.
