Where Hearsee Is Being Introduced
What is Hearsee Mobility?
Many public spaces are difficult to navigate independently. Confidence can disappear quickly when predictability is lost. Hearsee Mobility is a navigation system designed to support orientation, predictability, and independence. It works alongside the tools people already use, providing clear guidance without taking control or changing how anyone moves.
Hearsee was shaped through ongoing conversations with blind and low-vision individuals, prioritizing real-world needs over assumptions.
- GPS becomes unreliable
- Staff assistant becomes the default
- Visitors lose time, confidence, and control
How Hearsee Mobility Works
Hearsee maps environments based on how people actually move through them. The system delivers clear, predictable audio guidance that works alongside trusted mobility techniques without replacing them.
Mapped Environments
Spaces reflect real movement patterns.
Cane First Navigation
Enhances existing mobility tools.
Predictable Audio Guidance
Reduces uncertainty and cognitive strain.
Adaptable Across Spaces
Works across buildings and connected public areas.

What This Can Look Like in Real Spaces
Utah Arts Academy, was the first to integrate Hearsee Mobility into everyday spaces to support independent navigation.
- Supports participation in shared spaces
- Builds understanding of how environments are organized
- Reduces uncertainty while moving
- Works alongside existing mobility tools
A lot of museum displays show a descriptive video or audio, but they don't actually describe the skeletons or displays. Sometimes it's nice to be with someone who can describe the surroundings to you, but it would be great to appreciate the displays when I'm alone

What is the Hearsee Community Campaign?
The Community Campaign invites blind and low-vision individuals to help shape how Hearsee works in real spaces through shared experiences, feedback, and participation.
Who can participate?
Blind and low-vision individuals who want to influence accessible design and real-world navigation experiences. You don’t need technical experience.
Do I need to use Hearsee Mobility already?
No. Some participants are first-time users, others have experience. Both perspectives matter.
What does participation look like?
It may include testing Hearsee in real spaces, sharing feedback, or staying connected as the system evolves. Participation levels vary.
Is this research or a study?
No. This is a community-driven effort focused on collaboration, not data extraction or formal research.
Will I be asked to change how I move?
No. Hearsee is built to support existing mobility techniques, not replace them.
Is there any cost to participate?
No. Participation is free. Just your time.
How is feedback used?
Community input directly informs how Hearsee is designed, refined, and expanded into new environments.
How do I get involved?
Start by reaching out through the form on this page. We’ll follow up with next steps based on availability and interest.
Will my feedback be public?
No. Individual feedback is respected and shared only with consent.
Is Hearsee available everywhere?
Not yet. Community participation helps guide where Hearsee is tested and deployed next.
