Carrasco International Airport has become the first in the world to incorporate NaviLens universal accessibility technology, integrated into its wayfinding system and real-time flight information.<\/p>\n
This project is part of our ongoing effort to become more inclusive every day and to offer a barrier-free travel experience to all our passengers.<\/p>\n
NaviLens is a pioneering signage technology that makes it possible to transform any physical space into a smart, navigable environment. It is an orientation solution designed for people with visual impairments and international travelers, aiming to provide a fully accessible setting.<\/p>\n
The system operates through color-coded markers placed at different points throughout the airport, which mobile devices can detect from up to 15 meters away, even while moving and without the need to focus.<\/p>\n
Through the free \u201cNaviLens GO\u201d app, the technology reads the information embedded in the physical marker and delivers it to the user through audio, providing location-related guidance for each point. In addition, through the wayfinding solution, the technology guides the user to the next point.<\/p>\n
Thanks to this technology, passengers can independently access crucial information throughout their airport journey.<\/p>\n
The content is available in 41 languages, removing language barriers and ensuring signage is understandable for all travelers.<\/p>\n
With this pioneering initiative, Carrasco International Airport strengthens its positioning as a leading player in innovation, sustainability, and inclusive tourism.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
