How vision-first technology transforms exploration into independence
TL;DR
In this video, Tyson demonstrates how Hearsee’s indoor navigation technology guides him through Utah Arts Academy to the DNA Wall art installation. Using real-time voice feedback and RFID-enabled wayfinding, the process shows how accessible design opens spaces for blind and low-vision users to explore confidently.
What’s happening (and why it matters)
Art should be for everyone—not just those who can see it. The DNA Wall at Utah Arts Academy is a centerpiece of creativity and expression, and Hearsee’s navigation technology ensures blind and low-vision visitors can find it with the same independence as anyone else.
Tyson’s journey highlights a powerful truth: when accessibility is built in, discovery becomes natural, not stressful. Every turn, hallway, and landmark becomes part of an intuitive path, not a barrier.
Highlights from the journey
RFID-guided navigation. Embedded tags act as digital signposts, guiding Tyson step by step.
Smart cane integration. The Hearsee cane provides real-time audio feedback to confirm direction and location.
Confidence in motion. Instead of relying on assistance, Tyson navigates freely—proving that accessibility equals empowerment.
Destination reached. Tyson arrives at the DNA Wall independently, experiencing art as it was meant to be: accessible to all.
What we’re achieving—together
Proof of concept. The video demonstrates how our technology works in real-world environments.
Awareness through action. Seeing Tyson navigate independently reframes accessibility as both possible and essential.
Momentum for expansion. The DNA Wall journey is just one example of how schools, museums, and public spaces can be transformed.
